Estelle, Henry D & Mike M
2.5hrs
Henry went in first clearing the remains of the rubble created by Mark last time with the chisel drill and continued digging downwards through mud while Mike & Estelle hauled about a dozen bags up from the dig and shelf. Then Estelle went in and after doing a little digging in the floor, was attacked from above by a tennis ball sized rock, so decided the roof needed gardening. This has been tidied now and a fair bit of rock brought down. The digging in the floor isn’t easy as it’s quite tight and you need to double up and have your head by your feet! Mike went in after and carried on gardening and clearing spoil. As it stands ideally need the chisel drill for next time as the passage we are following down is getting quite deep and really awkward to dig now and needs widening and hammer and chisel has little impact. It may be worth considering Dr Nobel’s linctus as well, although air was really rubbish all night tonight, quite thick all the way through in the dig area and above it. All bar the last few bags were cleared to Talus and dumped.
Lock has been changed as old one died.
