Monday 9th December 2019
John Cooper, Rob Harper, Pete Hellier, Tony Seddon, Wayne Starsmore and Adrian
Vanderplank. Took in 1 bag of cement and 1 bag of sand. In addition Wayne took
in his camera on a pole, Adrian took in his capping kit and I took in hacksaw
and file. One mix of cement taken to the bottom which Pete used building up the
retaining left wall. Wayne poked his camera into any available hole and draught
tested whilst Rob and Tony assisted where needed. Unfortunately Adrian couldn’t
get at the boulder he was hoping to cap. Meanwhile John secured the deviation
pulley in Four-Tonne Shaft before retreating to do one mix of cement and add more
wall to The Spiral Staircase. Before exit we indulged in mulled wine and mince pies
taken in by Tony. 2½ hours.
