Mike Kushy, Alison Moody and Dave Walker. Initial tourist trip through the upper passages. On to Cement Dig, where both AM and DW went for a look at the ends. Nice draught coming out of Cement Dig today (may be worth putting a couple of charges into the boulders in the floor). Then to BRC and down to Tooth Dig, not much of a draught here and no one really approves of the site logistically. Then through the 2nd connection and into the newer passage. MK went ahead to assess bang damage and we decided we'd have a little clear out. MK perched in the chamber above the dig receiving buckets from DW, whilst AM was at the front. After a while DW went to the front and MK passed buckets to AM who was in the chamber. Once the chamber was exhausted MK went to the front and 5 large rocks were prised from the ceiling. There's a massive shattered block in the ceiling ahead ready to come down, but unfortunately when it's prised it moves even more ceiling higher up cave (ceiling we really don't want moving). The dam needs clearing and we need to get some more cement in before any more forwards progress. Nice draught at the bottom and quite frosty air. Tools retrieved from various dig sites: 1x micro pick, 1x 1 1/2ft crowbar, 1x short cold chisel and 12x full pf sets 😀 3 hours. Out through the new route. You can have a good hours trip now looking around at the sites. Mike.
