John Cooper, Will Reed and Adrian Vanderplank. With only 3 tonight we hauled 28 loads up Four-Tonne shaft, throwing the rock into the Pit, and then cleared the Pit. It was the wettest I’ve ever seen the place! Bats moving in. 2 hours. John.

John Cooper, William Reed, Myself. With a very depleted digging crew we actually got quite a lot done! 28 buckets up 4 tonne shaft to the Pit and then cleared to the top. Very wet, water going down the entrance shaft and 4 tonne Shaft as well. Adrian.

John Cooper, Simon Richards (Nik Nak) and Tony Seddon. Took in 2 x 7.5m 3mm ladders with spreader as a temporary measure for the bottom part of Nut Pitch. Removed the ladder that goes up to the top of Four-Tonne Shaft and brought it out. About 21 loads hauled up the bottom shaft. Very drippy tonight! Not really any spoil left at the bottom. 2¼ hours.

NikNak, William Reed, Mike Kushy, Nick Butler, Jude & Myself. Strong team to the bottom with Jude and Myself having a quick look at the bottom. The bang had been quite effective removing the disjointed rock from the right hand side and blowing off the solid from the left. Having had a quick look Jude & I went and carried on building wall at the top. NikNak reported at the end of the session they had a draughting crack and a loose rubble floor? Adrian.
