With Jake.
Always good to have some company and a helping hand with the kit.
At the current end of Another Emotional Journey, another 4no. holes, 550mm x 12mm, were drilled and filled, continuing the expansion of the narrow fissure.
While I was doing the drilling and things, Jake practiced his alchemist arts, combining sloppy sediment and cement to create ‘mud-crete’, this was then used to fill the deeper divots, near to the bridge over the pot, along the haul route. This will ease the passage, and prolong the life, of the skips. There were some tricky moves required on the way out with the wire to avoid the repairs.
The evenings work was brought to a satisfactory conclusion, this resulted in disturbing the peaceful slumbers of the roosting pheasants in the trees near to the cave entrance.
It was a cold, frosty evening, the stars were good though.
