Saturday 19th August 2023

John Cooper, Vern Freeman, Nigel Graham, Pete Hann, Adrian Vanderplank, Jude Vanderplank and Barry Wilkinson. Jude and Vern went in first to have a look at the bottom. They were followed by John and Pete with drill etc. Jude and Vern exited after a look and were replaced by John and Pete. Quite drippy at the bottom. John drilled 3 x 8mm x 400mm holes in the triangular boulder in the floor before carrying the drill back up to the Tunnel whilst Pete filled the holes. When John returned Pete had completed work so John took out the second bag and laid out the wire. Pete followed carefully positioning the wire. At the Tunnel John left the bag and ferried the drill to the bottom of the entrance shaft whilst Pete connected the firer. Very quiet result, it’s a long way. John collected the bag from Pete and ferried it to the base of the entrance where he swapped it for the drill. A slight outward draught but no fumes. Supervised by Adrian from the surface who was looked after by Barry and Nigel. 1¼ hours.
