Wednesday 19th October 2022

MK, JC, MW and CJ. Met Tuska on the surface measuring up and sorting surface stuff. Courtenay made a cement mix and we all headed down. Ferried all the tools into the newer section of cave. Mike Wise started to enlarge the calcite squeeze then John took over. Meanwhile the rest of us started taking photos. John had made the squeeze big enough for us all to carry on down cave. I showed John where the boulder chamber is and he also looked at the bottom. John then went to work more on the calcite squeeze whilst the rest of us took more photos. We also had a little poke at the muddy area, I predict this to go Saturday fairly quickly.
On the way back we headed into the boulder chamber to photograph more. The prime dig site was blowing a really good draught this evening, strong then the bottom of the bedding chamber, Mike W was very keen to dig here. Whilst in the boulder chamber we could hear John above and managed to have a conversation, to a certain extent. 2½ hours. Mike.
