Vince, Jake, Tav, Nick, Jon, and Harley
Carried the 3no. ‘new’ skips/bucket (made yesterday) up to the cave, and a little bit of ‘gardening’ while waiting for the others to arrive, watching, listening to the birds in the surrounding woodland.
The team assembled. In CoW, my turn to dig, Harley helped, Jake and Tav hauling and moving spoil to the entrance. Initially Nick was on the surface until Jon arrived.
At the dig face, progress to the SW has become constricted, c. 0.3m high with c.0.15m of that calcite-cemented sediment, and it’s going uphill! Not very inspiring at present. Relocated attention to a ‘possible’ lead on the southside, it might do something, who knows? I don’t like being negative. While this was going on, more ‘tidying’ work was done to the ledge to entrance route to make spoil removal easier. By about 12:15 had enough and called it a day!
Today’s total = 59 bags filled, hauled, and emptied plus an undetermined quantity of rocks for the wall. Apparently, it had been pleasant on the surface in the sunshine. Now, however, it was time for the Hunters’
