Mike Kushy and Alessio Sancetta. We met at 1000. Carried some cement across which got transferred into a Daren drum. This and a drill with 3 batteries went in. At TPC AS started down-sizing boulders in Scaff' Dig, whilst MK built more walls in Tea Party Chamber and tried to tidy up as much loose flooring as he could. Periodically we swapped jobs. Really easy access to the side passage going off from the bottom of Scaff' Dig now and there's also quite a big undercut that seems to be leading to a vertical hole. Once the drill ran out we decided to keep clearing as much of the loose stuff as possible as everything feels fairly safe as it is. Towards the end we decided to have a go at the higher dig in TPC. I personally really like this dig. Towards the end the crowbar was going into the floor with minimal resistance and we were even convinced that some material was dropping down further, although the hole is currently fairly small (but there is a flowstone floor leading to it). We both agreed that it's not worth going down into the initial floor of Scaff' Dig for now but to check the undercut out first. Some cement work could be done but didn't seem entirely necessary, although at the top end of the Scaff' Dig passage there is room for a clever retaining wall and to create some space for backfilling. Back to the cars for 1630. Mike.
