Stu Gardiner, Estelle Sandford, Mike Moxon, Steve Chitty, & Bill Combley
The verticle nature of the dig has now gone horizontal with signs that water once pooled at the current limit which hopefully means we have reached the bottom. The horizontal passage leading off away from Talus is now around 5 - 6ft long with soft sand and broken stal being removed with ease. Around 10 skips were removed from the dig face and the large problem boulder which was catching the skips along the drag route was broken down using plug's and feather's, however this has resulted in a large crater appearing which will need filling so the skips can run freely again.
Air is still very crisp at the dig face, even with prolonged digging head first. (Steve had a nasty slip on the icy scaffold stile coming out, which has resulted in a trip to A&E).
Total time underground 2 hours. with Mark Denning on the surface repairing the lock.
