Vince, Nick, Jake, Jon, Sam, Tav, Harley, and today’s guest, Nick Gymer
Some realignment of the spoil wall extension and bundled up dried bags while waiting for the teams arrival.
First to arrive were Jake and Sam who were quickly on their way underground to get digging underway in Can of Worms, I remained on the surface. The rest of the team turned up soon afterwards and descended into the cave to join the early diggers. Jon took Nick Gymer on a tour to An Unexpected Development (an earlier attempt to visit AUD by NG proved fruitless!) I’m not entirely sure who was where doing what but filled bags (and sporadic rocks) arrived at the entrance to be hauled out of the cave. Fortunately, there were enough breaks in the spoil hauling to allow the bags to be emptied and any rocks added to the wall. The weather was just right, pleasantly warm in the sunshine, and there was plenty of birdsong to entertain.
There were no reports of “supermassive black holes” from below just the steady flow of spoil to be hauled out. By the close of play, 89 bags had been filled, hauled, and emptied, plus several skip loads of rocks onto the spoil heap wall. The spoil heap was left neat and tidy ready for the next session. Another good productive morning’s activity.
Time now for some well-earned refreshments at the Hunters’ Lodge Inn.
