The large boulder in the floor was the soul focus of the evenings digging and with 3 drills fully charged and 2 new sets of wedge and feathers we set about breaking it up, to start with little progress was made, but within 30 minutes we were in full swing and the boulder was decreasing in size rapidly. At the end of the evening only a very small section was left, however this is firmly wedged under the left hand wall, however it is not an obstruction so it is to be left in place for the foreseeable future.

| The offending boulder is no more |
With the boulder removed we are now left with mud, small rocks and the usual broken up stal in the floor. All rocks and spoil were taken up to Talus and disposed of.
The dig face has become very wide and there is a slight worry that we may have lost the left hand wall - Time will tell, but we are still heading forwards and down.
Total time underground: 2.5 hours.
