With Jake, Brockers, Nick, Tav, Jonathon and Mike.
After a ‘shopping’ trip last weekend, Brockers didn’t miss out on his turn up front and was ably assisted by Nick, Jake on the slope and I was at the top. Tav, on haul and shuttle, occasionally assisted by Mike, Jonathon was on the surface, also assisted by Mike, who was on a dual role this evening.
As expected, it was rather squalid at the dig and the bags, when filled, felt quite liquid, they were going to be a ‘joy’ to empty. It must be said, the bags when empty are almost as weighty as they are when filled. I cleared a few bags of slump material from the top of the slope to add to the bag count. Although some rocks were cleared out, as many, if not more were left in the alcove at the top of the slope.
We returned to the surface, to find it had been raining, and helped to empty the last few bags. The count, 43 bags and, possibly, a dozen loads of rocks, there is a discrepancy here due to a malfunction of the tally system.
It was quiet in the Hunter’s…until we arrived.
