Possibly right Beasley as one of the less experieced diggers where I am currently working less experienced are more in predominence, which I think can be a b it of problem as some of us are just out of uni and fieldwork experinence varies greatly coming out.
Butr from what I have gathered it has been a growing problem as experienced diggers seem to leave and there not being enough to pass on expertise to others.
A problem I fear will grow as universities become more and more theoretical.
For me I wa told I would be fully trained with only 4 WEEKS of field work after Uni, I have done in total about 9 months and was still lacking in skills and getting that experiece was done of my own back.
Definatly a growing problem.
