White Pit 27/9/12

Estelle Sandford, Mark Denning & Mike Moxon
2hrs
Arrived and bang had removed some of the rock but also only cracked some of the walls. Took a couple of pics then removed the already full bags up to Talus before Mike went in and had a dig. The air was really quite bad down the bottom although much of the bang fumes were gone. Mike did about 1/2hr or so before he came out and Mark went in and did about 1/2hr or so. Straight on blocked by calcite now, floor is still soft and diggable, left hand might go under. There seems to be some sort of draught, but there really is limited oxygen in it! Retreated to pub with headaches! We really need to remove all our digging debris from there and also empty the place of the hessian bags, that were a good idea at the time, but might not be helping the air problem as they do rot and get mouldy.
