Mike Kushy, Samuel Hill, Callum Simmonds and Courtenay James. Took 2 and a half full bags of sand down to the bottom dig in tackle sacks. Used 1 full bag with Sam and Callum. We then all moved up to the Boulder Rift dig. MK went back up cave to the Pit and a clear light connection was made with Sam still in the boulder rift. Would be an easy connection to make! We then carried on the most recent dig. Courtenay showed up around 2ish and he and MK went and did some more cement work, all the sand and cement has been exhausted. I think it should be safe enough next trip to start pulling rocks out of the floor again. Oh, we could hear and feel clear reverberation from the drilling by Sam and Callum. After this we went to join the guys in the Boulder Rift dig. They had got through to a little chamber beyond, with a hole in the floor draughting well. MK went in and dug a hole slightly higher up, which ended up connecting to the other dig in the boulder rift, forming a round trip. The hole in the floor was inspected and decent open passage can be seen ahead, no boulders or mud in sight. Unfortunately opening this up would have taken more time than we had today, and the whole approach could do with enlarging to allow bigger, loose stacked rocks to come right out. 5 1/2 hours. Mike K.
