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.
