John Cooper, Adrian Vanderplank and Jude Vanderplank. Draught testing at the
bottom. It’s coming straight up out of the floor, which is yet more boulders!
Needs lots of cementing starting well above the bottom. Walls kept falling on
Adrian as he tried to take pictures. I think he needs to time stamp them as
well as date. 1½ hours. John.
John Cooper, Pete Hann, Adrian Vanderplank and
Jude Vanderplank. One mix of cement taken in, all used by John at the bottom of
Father Duckmas shaft. Pete in first to wind up the wire from last week. Jude and
Adrian then carried in the cement leaving me with nothing to carry for a
change. Pete found last week’s bang had done a good job demolishing the boulder
and made a start clearing debris. One large rock was passed up to John but the
rest can be found a home down below. It was too drippy today for Pete to cement
so next week will hope to take in a double mix. Adrian took some photographs
before coming out. I did carry the empty cement buckets and the wire out. 1½
hours. John.
