White Pit 9/8/11

Estelle Sandford, Mike Moxon, Mark Denning, Stu Gardiner

Digging in usual dig at bottom of talus with generator and chisel drill. Stu went in first and managed to get rid of the rock bridge to make a bit more room and then inverted himself to have a look down the hole. It is water worn and seems to drop away shortly, but still too tight and small to get into. Estelle went in next and attacked the left hand wall. Rock crumbling reasonably easy into small pieces, but still relatively slow progress (although a lot faster than a hammer and chisel would be!) - had a look myself at the way on and it looks good and feels cold/fresh. Mike went in next and carried on attacking the rock, followed by Mark. Looks like we need the chisel drill again next session, plus a damn good bag haul.
