More induced rapid speleogenesis. Continuing the expansion of the narrow gap to the north of the current end of Merlin’s. Six holes, plus a shorter one for the trimmings, concentrated on the right-side. Some of the holes weren’t so easy to drill, the bit was binding, probably a calcite/mineral vein.

Coming out of the cave, the heat is noticeable, still in the twenties at 21:00hrs.
