Vince, Brockers, Jake, Jon, Nick, and Tav
Underground, Brockers digging in An Unexpected Development area (Jake had given up his turn in favour of Brockers this week), Jake cleared away filled bags and rocks, I was hauling the spoil up the slope and passing it on to Jon, who took it across the chamber in Trick or Treat area to the ‘hump.’ Meanwhile, Tav was busy filling bags (30 in total) in Can of Worms assisted by Nick, who was clearing and moving spoil wherever he was needed. As usual, the supporting team changed positions regularly to keep spoil moving through the cave. Eventually, the spoil arrived at the surface.
In AUD area some discussion regarding digging options took place. There are some large boulders appearing below the ‘hole in the floor’ and these need to be exposed before they can be dealt with (drill/plugs & feathers). Towards the end of the session a ‘floor’ seems to be revealing itself!
At midday digging ceased, the remaining spoil was cleared from the cave to the surface. Today’s total = 80 bags filled, hauled, and emptied plus 8 skip loads of rock were added to the spoil heap wall.
To the Hunters’ Lodge Inn for refreshments as usual.
