29th November

Vice, Jake, Nick, and Tav

On the surface at the cave there were lot’s of rocks waiting to be added to the spoil heap walls so I got on with that until the others arrived.

Can of Worms again this weekend. Jake and Nick digging – battering rocks, filling bags – some more robust rocks were put to one side for further attention at a later date. Tav was on the ledge hauling away the spoil from CoW. Between us, Tav and me got the spoil back to the entrance and some was moved further out to the surface where a few bags were emptied. Only bags went to the surface at this stage rocks were left for later. The hauling rope was slippery and not easy to grip and some of the rocks were heavy. After a good soaking the rope was slightly easier to grip.

Midday came, digging ceased, and all the spoil removed to the surface, somewhere about 30-40 bags filled, hauled, and emptied and, there were a lot of rocks added to another stockpile for the spoil heap wall! Time for the Hunters’ Lodge Inn
