Whitepit - 17th January 2011

Stu Gardiner, Estelle Sandford & Mark Denning

The 8 skips worth of spoil and rubble were extracted from the dig and taken up to Talus, this left little to take out other than to continue with breaking up the stal banding.

A very large boulder (see image) has now been exposed in the floor, it was originally thought that the only way to break this up would be using explosives but after some digging around the sides of it, it is not as deep as first though and wedge and feather 'could' work.


The large boulder to be removed

The plan for the next session is to spend the entire evening breaking up the large boulder in the floor as it is though that once this is removed the stal banding that is located above will breakdown easier.

Total time underground: 2.5 hours
