Mike K, Andy T and Mark H. Removing the large boulder and clatch. Surprised how low we are after John’s sessions. Roof looked very suspect towards Wookey so cemented 2 bags of sand early for support, Chris W joined us and so did John later. 6½ hours. Mike.
John Cooper took over from Mark Helmore for the last cement mix of
the day. Others were Mike Kousiounis, Andrew Thompson and Chris Williams. They
had been there all day whilst I only joined after I’d finished in Dave
Mitchell’s Dig. Mike had removed the big pointy boulder but decided more
support was required before proceeding further along. 1 hour for me. John.
John Cooper, Dave Morrison, Geoff Newton and Andrew Thompson. Quite
a bit of clatch removed. Spent some time working on the pointy boulder but it
just splintered when drilling the end. Eventually it wouldn’t release a plug
and broke the tip off the drill bit. Dropped the boulder so it is now possible
to drill the top of it. Depth at end of session was 9.4m. 3 hours. John.
