White Pit 25/11/13

Estelle Sandford, James Begley, Mike Moxon, Rob Adams
1.5hrs
James and Mike cleared last week’s hauled bags to the old dig – dumping bags complete as most were like concrete – while Estelle and Rob headed down to dig. Estelle did a stint of digging followed by Rob while Mike and James hauled up then to staging area. Digging fairly easy in mud and broken up stal and small rocks and the trickle of water is barely flowing this week, but interestingly the hole further up that was dry when it was flowing well at the bottom 2 weeks back, is full of water again! Almost down to level where the water goes off by end of session, should have near enough cleared that area to give us an idea what is going on next time. Still about ½ dozen bags at the bottom to come up but could do with a larger team next time to haul as well as dig. By the end of 1.5hrs, the air was getting quite thick although there did seem to be a slight inwards draught, but think it’s either full of co2 already or not enough to sustain workers for too long!
