Vince, Jake, Tav, Brockers, Jon, and Nick
Wandered up to the cave to tidy up the spoil heap and add a few rocks to the wall before heading underground. Grabbed an unused drag tray from just below the entrance and set off to the far NE dig beyond Trick or Treat. Once there put together a haulage skip (I had bought with some lengths of rope from home) ready to try out later in the morning. That done got out the camera and took quite a few photographs and video of the sediment deposition in this section of the cave. Jake arrived, closely followed by Tav. Digging got underway.
Sediment was loosened, bags were filled, and hauled away, the drag tray worked well although its passage was eased with the occasional sprinkling of water on the slope. I was digging, Jake hauled spoil away, Tav carted the bags and very sporadic rocks across the chamber to the ‘hump’ there the spoil was shifted through the cave and out to the surface where the bags were emptied. In between bags from the NE, about half a dozen bags of spoil were coaxed out of Can of Worms. And that’s how the morning continued until it was time to stop digging and head out to the surface.
Todays total count = 76 bags filled, hauled, and emptied plus a token rock or two. To the Hunter’s!
