With Jonathon, Brockers and Ray Deasy.
I went along to the Tuck Shop with Ray, while I started to fill bags with gravel and fine sediment. Ray went along to the end of Merlin’s to have a look-around there. Meanwhile, Brockers sorted-out a replacement skip, had to use the skip from the end of Merlin’s as we had forgotten to bring the ‘designer’ skip [by Jake] from the shed.
Ray went to the top of the slope, Brockers on the haul and shuttle with Jonathon on the surface. Bags and rock then were removed from the Tuck Shop out to the surface, 35 loads in total. There are still about a dozen bags and a few rocks in the Tuck Shop, but Ray wanted to cycle over to Shepton Mallet to get to Thrupe Lane, so we made our way-out of the cave.
I had made sure the left wall was cleared ready for some further attention on Tuesday evening. At floor level, there’s plenty of fine sediment with the occasional rock or lump of detached flowstone to be dug-out too. When this is cleared it might be an idea to carry-out another aural test.
