Mike Kushy. Went to puddle dig and moved some spoil back behind walls I built, fairly draughty and long crowbar goes into the muddy floor with hardly any resistance. Then on to Cement Dig and cleared some of the backlog further back. Much stronger draught at this site and actually got quite cold even though I was moving the whole time. 2 hours, Mike.

Wednesday May 7th
Mikes' Wise and Kushy checking out the result of last week's bang and to clear what we could with our limited resources. The left hand wall was damaged, but still intact and solid looking. The rock in the floor had been broken out. MW dragged out the rock from the floor and some loads of the loose or detachable lumps for MK to stack or throw further up the passage above. We then swapped and MK investigated the undercut pulling off some more large lumps before attacking the backwall and uncovering a decent sized descending hole adjacent to and connected with the undercut. After removal of a large triangular rock, this showed the same sticky, stone filled and wet mud infill that we had buried with bang debris last week. MW probed the floor here with the large crowbar, shoving it down 2ft without too much effort. In summary we seem to have solid left and right hand walls and bedding roof and maybe have left the horrible loose stuff behind. We also now have room to dig. All we need is a minimum team of 5 for a 1/2 day to clear all the bang debris and the mud infill so we can see what we have found.
