Whitepit - 15th January 2011 (Ladder Installation)

Stu Gardiner, Estelle Sandford, Mark Denning & Hels Warren

Estelle and Mark removed the fixed ladders from 5 Buddles Mine Shaft and Bowery Corner (Pud Sucks), these were then taken to the Belfry for some slight modifications so they could be joined together.

Stu and Hels met up with Estelle and Mark at the depression where ladder was bolted together and fixed into the entrance pipes, although secure, the nut's and bolts need to be upgraded to M12 with nylon nut's and the bottom and middle of the ladder need to be secured.
