With Brockers, Jake, Nick, and Tav
Arrived earlier with the intention of getting some photos of the interesting stalagmites uncovered during digging activities in Can of Worms. Of special interest is a teetering, fractured, but still standing, stalagmite, the ‘Leaning Tower.’
Just about done when I could hear packs of bags being dropped down the entrance and soon after I was joined by Brockers. Jake passed by on his way to dig in the AUD area followed by Tav and Nick. I stayed in CoW to clear up the mess I had created on Wednesday (and this morning) with Brockers helping to drag the spoil back to the ledge. Loose rock and lumps of degraded calcite ‘floor’ and 10no. bags were filled and hauled to the bottom of the entrance. Then we moved back towards AUD area to clear the pile of bags accumulated there. With Nicks help these were moved to the entrance, and while Nick went back for more, the spoil at the entrance was hauled out to the surface (Brockers above ground, I loaded the bucket). Then back for the next lot. When these had been hauled out, I joined Brockers on the surface. Rocks were added to the wall extension and began to empty bags. More bags were hauled out too.
At the end of play, a total of 85 bags had been filled hauled, and emptied with about 5no. skip loads of rock added to the wall including last weeks ‘forgotten’ stone!
As ever, refreshments were enjoyed at the Hunters’
