Oli Hill and Sam Hill
Met at half 5 and made quick progress down to the dig.
A bolt and hanger was installed high up on wall for hauling (bolt needs a spanner to tighten it up and a pulley adding).
20 buckets of loose stuff was hauled up and then numerous large boulders were broken up. Hole into bedding tube has been opened up again and a good draft was felt towards the end of the session.Left with lots more rocks to break down and lots of loose stuff but a cementing session is definitely needed before any more downwards progress. Larger voids opening up in the floor with lots of calcite and water worn boulders coming out.
Out by half 8. 3hrs. Sam.
