RE: The Gatwick Cabling Party - write up

The holes at the bottom were "double mains socket" size. The
torch was
small, and held in the hole at the bottom, allowing James to see through
the top. The holes in the top were a couple of inches in diameter.

How gig were the holes you cut? I dropped mine down the wall cavity too,
but
I had to use a two drop pulling system byt dropping a weighted length of

string down first * fishing for it at the bottom with a device my
cablemonkey
invented.

I certainly couldn't have done anything with a torch ...
