Vince, Brockers, Jon, Jake, Nick, and Tav
Early to the cave to get to work with plugs and feathers, beyond Trick or Treat, to reduce another large boulder extracted by Jake last weekend. Just packing kit away as the team arrived. Rocks were hauled up and out of the way, then digging was underway. I was at the dig face loosening the sediment with Brockers filling bags and loading the skip which was hauled away by Jon. He then moved spoil across the chamber to the hump, Tav on the other side pulled the skip across and transferred the load to the next skip. Not entirely sure who did what beyond that except to say spoil was moved by Jake and/or Nick probably to the pot, and digging was happening in Can of Worms too. In addition, at some stage spoil was moved out to the surface.
Beyond Trick or Treat digging the ‘bones by-pass’ continued until just after midday when it was time to clear spoil from the cave and empty the bags. Today’s total was 67 bags filled, hauled, and emptied plus about 10 skip loads of rock added to the wall building stockpile.
News from Can of Worms of a cross-rift being encountered which sounds interesting. Also, in response to Jon’s mishap with mud-splatter in the eye, Jake had made-up and positioned eye-wash tubs at the vertical hauling points.
Refreshments were enjoyed at the Hunters’
