Mark Denning, Mike Moxon, Estelle Sanford and Stu Gardiner
A rock net was kindly offered to us by the Cain Hill diggers in an attempt at removing the now free boulder from the dig face, Mark tried to secure the net around the boulder but could not get underneath, however as there were 2 plug and feathers still jammed in the centre of the boulder this proved useful as a rope sling could be secured around the boulder using the plugs as anchor points, with Mark at the Boulder the rest of us took the strain on the rope and within 15 minutes the larhe boulder was removed from the dig face and at the base of the first climb down.
The dig face was now considerablly bigger and now a sack could be filled at the face speeding up progress 10 fold.
Towards the end of the session the full bags and a few boulders were taken up to Talus and dissposed of.
Total time underground 3 hours
