no choice dave,no access for a machine
only took me 6 hours 
digging over an existing run is always slightly easier than virgin ground
I wonder what a machine would have made of the water pipe?

if you were digging that lot up with a machine you would dig along the pipe rather than across it, a good machine op would feel the water pipe before busting it. 3/4t machine would get in any doorway... ps, i prefer your other shoes

Fair play to you Tone, I have nothing but admiration for the hand-digs you do.
