With Nick and Jon
As is my wont arrived at Hallowe’en Rift ahead of the team bringing with me a digging hoe ready to prepare the ground for the spoil heap wall extension. There were plenty of rocks piled underground awaiting removal to the surface.
Nick and Jon arrived, for one reason or another only a small team assembled for today’s activities, no matter. A brief discussion before all going underground towards Can of Worms. The rocks were removed. While me and Jon got the rocks up to the surface, Nick returned to CoW to get on with digging. On the surface the rocks were used in the wall extension and then me and Jon went back into the cave to clear the backlog of spoil accumulated by Nick’s endeavours. All spoil was shifted out to the surface, rocks added to the wall, bags emptied into the space created. Back for more and the whole process repeated. And repeat for one more time, this time Nick followed the spoil out. Today’s total = 31 bags filled, hauled, and emptied and more than a dozen skip loads of rock added to the wall.
At the dig, things are still looking interesting, and progress is still going downwards. Nick reported that the digging is not especially difficult. A good session with a small team. But now time for the Hunters’!
