John.Cooper and Mike.Kousiounis. Setting charge in holes drilled by John mid week. All went off fine. No sign of any newts in the tunnel. 1 hour. Mike.

Pete Hann, Jude and Adrian Vanderplank, Nigel Graham as surface support.
All down the entrance shaft to firstly look at Johns drilled shot holes, (Very nice!)
Then on down into the original dig, a couple of times there seemed to be a strange grunting noise particularly in the more snug sections, strange?
Pete was impressed with the bedding chambers and thought they could be quite photogenic. We went to both ends, but not the very ends and I missed the way into Tooth dig, and found myself looking at a small bucket and rope and an even smaller hole and thinking if they’ve gone through that I’m seriously impressed. A steady trip out, looking for draughts and anything else which might be of interest. Adrian.
PS from John Cooper. When Pete returned the key he said "Don't ever give me that again!"
