Mike Kushy and Geoff Newton started at 9.30. Cleared more mud and silt, quite wet at the bottom. Andy Thompson joined us around 11.30. Then Courtenay James and Monica joined us around 12. With the bigger group we were able to take stuff up much higher. There's enough space at the lower dumping area for a small group to use for another couple of sessions. Geoff left around 12.30 and the rest of us got out around 2.30 after a look in the Boulder Rift. Mike.

MB at the front of the mud dig tunneling along, got another metre along then hit a very thick (2ft) layer of calcited conglomerate in the floor. Towards the end MK went in and had a poke at the ceiling and left the dig with what looks like a rift line in the ceiling, slight draught at the end. Came out to find a gate fitted in the fence, good job T! 🙂 4 1/2 hours, Mike.
Continued to make space in the muddy tube, digging across and down slightly left to follow the ceiling. Some big chunks of conglomerate coming out of the floor, and a mix of sandy grit and clay like mud. Definitely looks like 50 shades of brown. 4 1/2 hours. Monica. (From log book).
