White Pit - 02/01/13

Stu Gardiner, Estelle Sandford, Mark Denning, Mike Moxon & Leonie Woodward.
Session to clear the debris from the previous visit, upon initial inspection the expected amount of rock and stal had been removed with some decent sized boulders ready to extract.
There was much more mud than expected which was probably obscured by the calcited boulders in the roof and floor.
The small hole with running water noticed on the previous visit was again uncovered and the water could be heard trickling away and then dropping down a small drop, the passage carrying the water is small but seems to be carrying fresh air, and although not drafting it certainly helps with the constant battle against bad air.
At least another 2 digging sessions will be required to remove the debris and all the filled bags will need to be removed up into Talus.
Total - 40 bags removed from dig face.
2.5 hours.
