Report by Jon

“Jon, Jake, Paul and Nick turned up at the farm at the appointed hour. Jon remembered the key; Jake took responsibility for it.

Underground, Jake took the lead, digging to the left of the boulder at the current end. Care was taken to ensure that any bones were not missed; none were seen.  It was reported that the way ahead to the left appears to be somewhat low in height. Jon worked at the back, moving spoil bags from the chamber to the main haul point. Nick and Paul worked in between, improving the infrastructure (my heart sinks a little when reference is made to “Nick…improving the infrastructure!”) There were no time devices underground. Jon and Jake raised the issue of time within a few minutes of each other; the Team then departed.  Hauling was very efficiently done. 45 bags of spoil were removed.

Jake returned the key to its rightful place. The Team then retired to a local hostelry for light refreshments.”
