John Cooper, Simon Richards (Nik-Nak), Adrian Vanderplank and Jude Vanderplank. Decided to work the bottom shaft. With John at the bottom filling buckets, Nik-Nak hauling, Jude filling drag bucket and Adrian stacking at the bottom of Four-Tonne Shaft we cleared loads before Adrian called time after an hour. Quite a bit of hammering required to create spoil now. When John switched from digging the calcited end to the loose end a draught started up, confirmed by Nik-Nak at the end when he checked. Measured final shaft at 11.4m before we started this evening. 2 hours. John.
John
Cooper, NikNak, Jude & Myself. Digging at the
bottom due to lack of people. No idea of how many buckets we shifted, but it
was quite a lot. At the end of
the session NikNak went down the bottom and dug a bit and detected a draught
coming out of the bottom. Adrian.
