John Cooper, Nigel Graham, Pete Hann, Geoff Newton, Adrian Vanderplank, Jude Vanderplank and Barry Wilkinson. One mix of cement sent to the bottom. Whilst Pete and Adrian capped and cemented the rest of us hauled their spoil up to the bottom stacking space. We then left Pete and Adrian creating more spoil and cementing whilst the rest of us moved the spoil on up to the top stacking space and then on up to the surface. Total of 17 loads. 3 hours. John.

John Cooper (late arrival after helping in Bagpit), Nigel Graham, Pete Hann, Adrian Vanderplank, Jude Vanderplank and Barry Wilkinson. One mix of cement sent to the bottom. Whilst Pete and Jude cleared spoil and did a bit of cementing at the bottom the rest hauled spoil to the surface. I arrived as Adrian hauled load 30 to the surface, Nigel was filling and Barry was on the Naughty Step. I joined Adrian and hauled another 22 loads to leave plenty of stacking space for next time. Total of 52 loads. 1 hour for me. John.

John Cooper, Nigel Graham, Pete Hann, Adrian Vanderplank, Jude Vanderplank and Barry Wilkinson. One mix of cement sent to the bottom. Whilst Pete cleared spoil and did a bit of cementing at the bottom the rest of us hauled up to the bottom stacking space. Adrian then replaced Pete and did some capping with the debris being moved up to join that previously raised. The second bucket of cement was then sent down to Pete and Jude. The rest of us hauled all the spoil from the bottom stacking space to the top stacking space. Will need to do a surface haul before much more can go on the top stacking space. 3½ hours. John.
