Mike Kushy, Jason Hares, John and Danny Arnold.

First we started by clearing the rocks at the bottom of the 10ft climb back to the chamber. Then we all moved down cave and cleared the over stock of rocks from the bottom. These all ended up in the chamber eventually. MK then went to the front and filled sacks, these got tipped into the pit at the Boulder Rift connection. After the front was cleared sufficiently there were bigger rocks to plug and feather. MK set about this and the others all took turns to look at the front. When the others were gone a few rocks were felled but not enough battery to break them all up. There's a couple of small streams below us somewhere. Draught okay today. 4 1/2 hours for me. MK.

John Cooper and Trevor Hughes. John in at 18.00 to add a bit to the survey of Boulder Rift. Came out 19.00 to meet Trevor then both in to bang yesterday’s holes. All went OK. Wire left just below lid. 2 hours for me. John.

A good firing- as per your picture. Maybe not a breakthrough but certainly a vast pile of rocks to clear. A lot of small(ish) rocks ahead, a good stacking/removal policy is needed. Having said that it does, indeed, look very promising. Trevor.
