John Cooper and David Morrison (Tuska). John started at 15.00 and moved rocks up from the bedding plane to the base of the entrance shaft. Only about half a dozen left to move when Tuska arrived at 16.00. By then the heap of rocks had very nearly reached the bottom of the fixed ladder, which would have pleased Nigel. Tuska then hauled rocks for 2½ hours, John loading and moving the last few up from the bedding plane.Towards the end Tuska was working in the dark as he had not brought a light along and it was thick mist. All spoil cleared when we left. However, a look at the bottom showed lots more cementing, clearing and boulder breaking still to do. 3½ hours. John.
