James Collings, John Cooper, Simon Richards (Nik-Nak), Adrian Vanderplank and Jude Vanderplank. James was late arriving so we decided to work the bottom shaft. With John at the bottom filling buckets, Nik-Nak hauling, Jude filling drag bucket and James stacking at the bottom of Four-Tonne Shaft we cleared loads before Nik-Nak and John swapped roles. Quite a bit of hammering required to create spoil now. Meanwhile Adrian was moving spoil back at the very top of Four-Tonne Shaft. 2 hours. John.
John C,
NikNak, James C, Jude & Myself. All, apart from
myself went to the bottom to clear spoil. I stayed at the top and moved last
week’s spoil to the very back of the rift. The bottom of the dig still seems to
be calcited boulders with gaps between. Adrian.
