Wednesday 2nd February 2022

John Cooper and David Morrison (Tuska). Tuska organised delivery of the winch and ladder which he started fettling in the morning. I turned up about 1.30pm with some water as there was none for mixing cement. Spent a while deciding where and how to fix the entrance ladder. Left it propped on rocks pending a proper base being constructed Sunday. Finally spent some time cutting off welded on nuts from the winch frame. 2 hours for me. John.

John Cooper and David Morrison (Tuska). Tuska on the surface mixing with John below cementing boulders to prop up the entrance pipes. Not quite so muddy today. 2 hours. John.

Mike K, Tuska, Alan Mills and Mark Helmore. Cementing and stabilising the shaft again, a dozen loads put in. The shaft is now cemented all 360° all around the edge and tied in 2-3ft. deep all around. PF’d a boulder directly down and looking at a 6ft. drop down. Mike.
