Plenty of progress forwards and slightly downwards, some large slab like boulders were extracted from the floor, however a large mainly limestone boulder proved too much for the plugs and we failed to make an impression on it. The plug that jammed itself in was hammered over and left for another day.
The current dig face is now a mixture of soft sand with bands of calcite around 1" thick, another large boulder is wedged between the roof and the calcite floor, this was dug around with the aid of a crowbar it moves a little, thoughts are this may need to be broken down before any attempts to try and move it.
The spoil area in Talus 4 is now quite impressive with some fine dry stone walling, this has given us much more dumping space.
Note: new plugs and feathers will be needed for the next trip.
Time underground: 5.5 hours
