Vince, Jake, Jon, Brockers, Nick, and Tav
An earlier start for me to carry out some ‘rock-bothering’ in the AUD area where there are a couple of large conglomerate boulder requiring some reduction in size to be more manageable. Underground by 09:00 with drill and plugs/feathers packed. The rocks were dealt with producing quite a pile of material suitable for wall building and had just finished moving the debris along to the skip when Jake appeared, then Jon too. Jon positioned at the top of the slope hauled up the rocks, Jake was digging filling bags, and these were moved up too. And so, we progressed with no sign of anyone else.
Nick, Brockers and Tav were back in Can of Worms where Nick filled about 40 bags. They then came along towards Trick or Treat/AUD area to clear the considerable accumulation of spoil there.
Below the ‘hole in the floor’ the potential ‘lead’ to the east appears to have ‘pinched-out’ so the effort turned back to the northeast. Removal of fine-grained sediment revealed a couple more large conglomerate boulders, and these were moved to one-side to be dealt with at a later date. There was plenty more space now to continue digging.
All too soon the time for digging was over for today and the move to clear the remaining spoil from the cave took priority. About 90 bags were filled, hauled, and emptied plus about a dozen skip loads of rock were added to the west extension wall. An excellent session.
