Monday 10th April 2017

James Collings, John Cooper, Adrian Vanderplank and Jude Vanderplank. Adrian had a call-out so John went in and loosened up some spoil before the others arrived about half an hour later. We then hauled spoil out of the bottom shaft (20 loads?) before Adrian went and had a look. 2½ hours. John.

John, James, Jude & Myself. More hauling from the bottom with me going down at the end to have a look, not very encouraging. Adrian.
