John Cooper, Adrian
Vanderplank and Jude Vanderplank. Jude came in to change the SRT ropes on Nut
pitch but had difficulty undoing a maillon so that didn’t get done. New rope
taken out again. Meanwhile Adrian and John used 3 mixes of cement building up
the Spiral Staircase. Only enough cement left for one mix. 1½ hours.

John Cooper, Rob Harper, Pete
Hellier, Wayne Starsmore and Adrian Vanderplank. Took in another 2 bags of
sand. With Adrian loading, John on the ledge, Wayne above him and Pete
transferring the loads to Rob a grand total of 73 tubs of spoil were dumped in
The Pit. The bottom of Four-Tonne shaft is clear again. Lack of time, or was it
will power, means The Pit remains to be emptied. Very drippy tonight. 2½ hours.

John Cooper, Rob Harper,
Pete Hellier, Will Reed, Wayne Starsmore and Adrian Vanderplank. Took in
another 2 bags of sand. Worked the bottom tunnel and shaft this evening. Pete
at the face, Wayne breaking up rocks, Rob loading, Will hauling and John
hauling and transferring 30 rather heavy loads of rocks were sent along to
Adrian for stacking at the foot of Four-Tonne Shaft. The bottom now has a
couple of rocks requiring breaking up plus some clatch. After that on to the face.
Will forgot his gloves and now has blisters on both hands! Very drippy tonight.
2¼ hours.
