Whitepit - 05/06/11

Estelle Sandford, Mark Denning & Stu Gardiner

We were all woken to Mark making up some 16mm plugs and feathers at the Belfry at what seemed like the middle of the night, however it was around 9am, but we all had hangovers and a hacksaw grinding through steel is not the best of sounds.

The plan was again to attack the floor in an aid to enlarge the hole further to gain access to the loose mud and hopefully easy digging beyond.  Although some of the floor was removed the drill batteries were just not lasting long enough with the 16mm holes needed for the plugs and feathers.

The crow bar was pushed as far down as possible into the loose mud and it was estimated at nearly 1m deep and with plenty more to go.

After a lengthy discussion it was decided that we are to install a 110v cable so that mains powered hammer drills can be used in an attempt to drill more holes, deeper and for longer so finally break the floor up.

Total time undergound: 2 hours



The next phase ..........................
