John Cooper, Pete Hann, Kate Lawrence, Adrian Vanderplank and Jude Vanderplank. Double mix of cement taken in. Two thirds used by Pete building walls at the bottom and the remaining third by John doing remedial work above the rift. Some gravel removed from the bottom stashed in various alcoves in Pensioners’ Pot and some rocks brought up to the top of it. Probably time for capping again. 2½ hours. John.

John Cooper, Nigel Graham, Pete Hann, Adrian Vanderplank and Jude Vanderplank. Finally a nice sunny day. Double mix of cement taken in. Two thirds used by Pete building walls at the bottom and the remaining third by John doing remedial work above the rift. Once all the cement had been used Jude dug gravel from the floor which Pete disposed of higher up. Probably same again next week. 2 hours. John.

Pete Hann, Nigel Graham, Jude and Adrian Vanderplank. Jude first to the bottom, noting the large amount of gravel that has washed in during the last couple of months. AV then to the bottom to cap some of the larger rocks. The reduced rocks were hauled to the top of Pensioners Pot by NG. JV dumped the gravel and small rocks into some alcoves. JV and NG then went out. PH and AV swapped places and more gravel was removed. Pete’s light started to go on to low power mode so we called time, bringing the bag and capping kit out with us. 2 ¼ hours. Adrian.
