James Collings, John Cooper, Vern Freeman, Simon Richards (Nik-Nak) and Adrian Vanderplank. Clearing the spoil created last week. Lots of loads (uncounted 60?). Could have done a few more before much hammering required. 2 hours. John.
NikNak, James, John Cooper, Vern Freeman & Myself. A really good
digging session. A minimum of 62 buckets hauled from the very bottom. Although
I didn’t go to the bottom it sounds like the crack is continuing downwards and
James & NikNak were getting quite enthusiastic about it. At present the
banging is going under a rock slab 3m x 2m x 30cm which will have little
physical support underneath. I’m not quite sure if this will be a problem or
not. Whether the sideways pressure from the boulders jammed in the rift will
hold it in place or whether I will need to put rebar in and then cement chocks
above; probably the safer option. Possibly cosmetically more reassuring! Adrian.
