John Cooper. First of all wiggled a boulder out which was then plug and feathered to manageable chunks. Then drilled some holes in the bottom and sides, 4 in the floor and 6 in the walls. All 10 holes 300 – 500mm deep ready for Mike on Sunday. 2 hours.John.

Mike Kushy, Dave Morrisom and John Cooper. Mike and Dave clearing out bang spoil. Some of the charge didn't go off for some reason, never mind though as the blocks we want to bang had shifted from the charge that did go off allowing removal. Cleared enough ready for drilling. John joined us at the end. Good draught. 2 1/2 hours. Mike.

Looking into the chamber at the bottom, all seems to be holding up okay. Photo MK.

The bottom after clearing. Red block wiggles and will come out. Blue crosses supposed drilling point. Yellow crosses maybe to be drilled, would be good to get out. Photo MK.
