Pete, Nigel & Myself. Cave very damp.
All to the bottom. Pete drilled 3 holes, 2 x 0.5m holes and a 1m long hole. I
laid the charge with 40gm cord and we retired to the ledge to fire it. The
charge wasn’t as loud as I thought it might be. As we were about to prussik up
the fumes had caught up with us, going straight out. Adrian.
John Cooper, Pete Hann, Simon Richards (Nik
Nak), Adrian Vanderplank and Jude Vanderplank. Adrian filled the bucket and the
rest of us hauled up the spoil in the main shaft. 41 buckets moved. 2 hours. John.
John
Cooper, NikNak, Pete H, Jude & Myself. With the
Thursday team being intermittent to say the least, we put in a big hauling
session clearing mainly clatch, but there was still a lot left to clear. Adrian.
Pete
Hann, NikNak & Myself. Another good
digging session at the bottom. We seem to be finally through the layer of small
stones mud & clatch with more larger rocks appearing in the North and in
the middle and the South is still heavily calcited in rocks. A damp session but
rewarding. Adrian.
