White Pit - Wednesday 12th December

Hauled all the bags up to Talus and Mark emptied them. Estelle went and dug and cleared out 3 bags worth, but getting harder to dig as space a bit limited. James did one bag and then Mark did a further 3, but we all agreed it needs banging to make it bigger which hopefully will be done next Wednesday. Air remained clear all evening down there and it appears to be draughting inwards.

White Pit 5/12/12

Digging the end and moved all the bags we dug and had stored previously up to the top ready for a haul next time. Mike dug first and then Estelle had a dig and then Mark. Fairly easy digging in stal floor which has a mud infill underneath and any rocks seem to be coming out ok. Debatable as to whether the bit we are sat in could do with a little chemical persuasion to enlarge, but the way on so far is easy digging so we could leave as is. There is a boulder in the roof above which is well stalled in but looks a bit precarious. Way on has an obvious sign of a void, how big we might well find out next time… Hoping for something a bit more than the usual little pocket we seem to find!
