Sunday 24th March 2024

MK got to the dig just after 10 and started downsizing the bouldery mess created from Wednesday's bang. AM joined not long after and cleared all the rocks back to the entrance shaft. Small buckets of clatch were filled and tipped into the rift up cave. More rocks were broken up and stashed on the ledge above the climb, this is now full. MB arrived at some point to inspect the dig and take the obligatory rock to surface. At some point some rock tickling and a collapse opened a considerable window into a decent sized space beyond. As tempting as it was to climb through we decided to keep clearing out the floor as this looks a safer prospect for continuing. A lot of cement work needs doing next. On the way out JC was on surface so with AM and JC on surface and MK filling buckets all the rocks at the base of the shaft were cleared. 5 hours for me. MK.
