Vince, Jake, Nick, and Tav
An earlier start for me as I wanted to continue preparing the ground ready for extending the spoil heap wall on the western side. That done got on with packing bags just as the others arrived.
A smaller team assembled today so the digger, Tav, chose to excavate in Can of Worms. While Tav started to fill some bags the rest of us went to AUD area to clear the pile of rocks from there. The rocks (and the first batch of bags from CoW) were hauled out to the surface. On surface duties today after digging last weekend, I added the rocks to the wall extension and started to empty some bags, then the next batch of bags was ready to be hauled out, and so it continues for the morning. It was very warm and humid but, thankfully there were no annoying flies (although I had sprayed myself with some insect repellent!)
Today’s total = 85 bags filled, hauled, and emptied plus 10 full skip loads of rock hauled out and added to the wall. It was time to secure the cave, down to the farm and change, then up to the Hunters’ for the usual refreshments. An excellent mornings activity!
