Stu Gardiner, Mark Denning, Estelle Sandford, Jo Hardy & Mike Moxon
With a few skips needing emptying from the previous session emptied, we set about trying to dig past the large stal blockage, the theory being that once we are past this then the passage will widen and that we may regain the left hand wall, although it seems unlikely the wall will be found, however we still have obvious roof formations that are keeping us on track.
The dig face is currently quite low due to the nature of the floor, the stal blockage has invaded much of the floor. The large slab like boulder on the right was broken up enough to expose the soil below, this should allow the floor to be lowered.
Around 10 skips of mainly rubble was removed to Talus.
Note: Mike Moxon investigated the unstable slope near the entrance - verdict: shoring is required.
Total time underground: 2.5 hours
