AT, JC, MH, MK and MW. 26 decent loads, Lowering the floor in the new bit. Next step is to brace a big boulder then take apart the slab blocking the way on. Draught not as strong as in the past, but still decent. 2 hours. Mike.
Afternoon. John Cooper and Wayne Starsmore. Took out a couple of boulders in the floor of the small chamber (third) then worked on the left hand wall leading onwards over the slab in the floor. Possible to do a loop round in the second chamber. Bit of a squeeze down into the third chamber where I was working. 6 loads of rock and a couple of buckets of clatch to surface. 2 hours.John.
Evening. John Cooper, Mark Helmore, Mike Kousiounis (Kushy), Andy Thompson and Mike Wise. Kushy continued downwards in the third chamber eventually linking to the base of the left hand drop from the first chamber. 26 loads of rock and clatch were hauled to the surface by John. Dark at the end of the session. 2 hours. John.
Mike K, Andy T, Mark H, Mike Wise and JC. 26 decent loads cleared. Dropped the floor some in the new bit and cleared around the block that is stopping us from going down into the space ongoing. This now moves and with some strategically placed rock can start being dismantled, also the one behind it will need a nose took off to go down. Not sure this will be possible and that we’ll get down Sunday, as it’s most paramount making sure the top of the pot is secure first. Back in on Sunday, if you are planning to join please say. 2 hours, Mike.
