Whitepit 30 may 2011

Mark Denning and Estelle digging today

The idea today was to try and lower the floor enough to see down the water worn archway that disappears into the distance.The main problem we are still encountering is the tight space in which you can not swing a cat and that all the walls are still very solid rock and stall,however we persisted and slowly made the hole big enough to swing the hammer.
After a good couple of hours of bashing away at the floor with plugs and feathers and hammers and chisels the hole leading of is more accessible and i did manage to get a good look down the hole which is small and does look like it could be the void at the top of the roof.
The floor is still a solid lump but is now beginning to break up a couple good sessions should see us with enough room to start digging the water worn hole.
Lots of spoil ready to be brought out about 9 bags

3.5 hours digging
