Whitepit - 13/07/11

Estelle Sanford and Stu Gardiner

With Mark having man flu and Mike being a traitor and digging Bone Hole we set about attacking the dig face with our newly acquired eco friendly bags that we found in the digging store, this was due to Mark filling the others on Saturday.


Our Eco Friendly bags were excellent

The dig face is now almost comfortable and you can almost sit upright and dig forwards. The CO2 levels were of a constant worry however it was agreed that they were acceptable and did not really cause and issue, towards the end it was noticeable that our breathing became a little heavier but not dangerous by any means, the plan is to acquire a CO2 meter for a later trip purely as a matter of interest.

The dig seems to be following the same trend as the rest of the excavated passage but is showing no signs of dropping in depth (yet), the floor is mud and this needs to be dug out so that the digger can move forward, the roof remains water worn and spirits are high.

Total time underground: 2 hours
