MK and SH to start with. Took both drills in and broke up rocks at the dig face, SH breaking down rocks big enough to move back then MK making them even small further back. AH joined us after about an hour. With SH at the sharp end, AH behind and MK receiving rocks and stashing them up cave. Lots of buckets of clatch moved behind the retaining wall. AH went to the front for a while and worked on some blocks. MK went to the front and filled up buckets of clatch from the floor, revealing some enticing holes. The retaining wall is now full and there's rock filling the bottom of the shaft, the space between the bedding and loose rock down the bottom. A few big boulders to break up at the sharp end still. Also the very bottom needs more wall building in the floor. Good view straight on as well. We need to keep straight on as a future option, but the floor is the better prospect. Good draught. 4 1/2 hours. Mike.
