Stu Gardiner, Mark Denning, Estelle Sandford, Mike Moxon.
Mark went down early with the generator and drill and managed to take off the large flake of rock that was barring access to the floor below.
After this was removed from the dig Stu started to remove the floor and exposed a water worn clean washed (small) rift leading off and continuing downwards, this was blocked with small rocks and debris from our previous digging above. A large staled boulder will need to be broken up using wedges before we can carry on, this will hopefully make the digging reasonably comfortable.
A hauling session will be needed soon as the dig is filling up fast, air was good although very dusty dye to the excessive drilling and chiseling.
Total time underground: 3 hours

you missed the rest of the people who were there and helped haul before touristing off to St Alactites. ;-) Bill Combley, Andrew Walrond, Joe Burnell and Ivan (don't know his surname) were also there and assisting.
