old'un Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 A mole can dig up to 20 metres of tunnel in a day, so yes sounds about right, the next 24 hours will tell you all you need to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diver One Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Mole hills are one thing....have you seen the size of a Mole Burial mound? glastonbury Tor is believed to be a mole Burial Site.

Very grand affair, hundreds turn up and party for hours I wasn’t going to mention that 🤭 there’s plenty more incidents of moles funerals creating national landmarks some say that the Himalayas was created by a bereft family of moles upon the death of there king (neverest) don’t worry ditchman I’m sure you have solved the problem 😗🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
