Saturday 30th October 2021

John Cooper, Nigel Graham, Pete Hann, Rich Marlow, Adrian Vanderplank and Jude Vanderplank. Went and looked at the water shooting across the shaft and hitting the ladder on the opposite side then went for tea and cake at Upper Pitts. Got wet feet just getting across the pool to the entrance. John.

Saturday 23rd October 2021

John Cooper, Pete Hann, Adrian Vanderplank and Jude Vanderplank. Rock from last week’s bang hauled up until the bottom ledge was full and Pete hurt his side. A bit drippy and very little draught today. More hauling required. 1½ hours. John.

Saturday 16 October 2021

Pete, Nigel and myself, to the bottom of Father Duckmouse shaft, holes drilled in the side wall conglomerate boulder.

Charge fired from the tunnel no fumes detected. Gap under conglomerate boulder now visible. Adrian.

Saturday 9th October 2021

John Cooper and Pete Hann. Double mix of cement taken in. One third used by John just below the entrance and two thirds by Pete at the bottom. More walling still required at both sites. Not quite as drippy as Thursday. Slight outward draught. 1½ hours. John.

Saturday 2nd October 2021

John Cooper, Nigel Graham, Pete Hann, Adrian Vanderplank and Mike Wise. Raining heavily so no cementing done today. Took in capping kit. Nigel only made it to the tunnel. First cleared rocks from the bottom and stacked them on the bottom ledge. Then a load of clatch hauled up a couple of metres and stuffed in an alcove. Then Adrian capped rock. Some went OK but a lot did little damage. Kept moving the bits up to the bottom ledge. Stopped when the battery ran out. At the bottom Adrian took pictures through a gap between boulders. Looks interesting. Finally 9 loads were hauled up the entrance shaft in the rain. 2½ hours. John.
