Saturday 1st December 2018

John Cooper, Nigel Graham, Pete Hann, Adrian Vanderplank and Barry Wilkinson. Two mix of cement done and sent to the bottom as three loads with Pete Hann. Adrian plus his capping kit followed but waited to load. With Barry on the Naughty Step Nigel and I hauled 13 loads to the surface before Barry called it a day, very drippy today! Barry then came up and I went down. Pete was still cementing from the second load. After a while Adrian did some capping but the rock was hard. I went out to collect his second battery and send Barry and Nigel back to Upper Pitts. When I returned the first battery had just expired but better progress was being made with 2 caps in each hole. Finally Pete went back and cemented in the rocks that Adrian had capped. 3½ hours.John.
