John Cooper, Mark Easterling
(Bean), Mike Kousiounis, Will Reed, Wayne Starsmore, Adrian Vanderplank and
Jude Vanderplank. Adrian and Jude made an early start to photograph the “grotto”
entered on 23rd May. They then started digging the lower route on.
After Bean and Mike had had a look we continued the work. About 21 loads of
clatch destined for the Spiral Staircase were hauled up the bottom shaft with a
similar amount being left there (and quite a few rocks as well). Way on at the
low level definitely looking good. 2 hours.
