'Caucus Race'...?!
Harley Bennet, Ed Ford and Mike Kushy. Got to the entrance for just after 1700. We lowered 5 heavy bags containing sand, cement and drill and also picked up the scaffold clip bag on route. We leap frogged and ferried them down to TPC. MK and HB had a go at the higher end dig in TPC whilst EF down-sized and moved larger rocks from in and around the scaffold dig with PF's. After a while MK joined EF and the pair worked on cementing whilst HB spent his time building walls at the higher dig. More rock removed and we now have a square frame. Lost track of how much material is in cave but we brought out all the tackle sacks and these are in the lock-box on surface along with 1@1/2bags of sand and 2/3 bag of cement. MK and HB popped to get tools from MHH and the air felt very stale, whereas there was a lovely cool breeze coming up the light connection today. EF placed a section of small ladder he acquired (thanks Mick) into a gap in the ceiling right where you get into the thrutch. I personally really liked it, just needs securing. Out for 21.30. Mike.
