Saturday 29th June 2024

John Cooper, Nigel Graham, Pete Hann, Kate Lawrence, Adrian Vanderplank and Jude Vanderplank. No cement or capping today. Started by clearing all the rocks from the bottom of the entrance shaft to the surface, 17 full loads! Then Jude and Kate to the bottom to clear clatch and lose it in various voids in Pensioners’ Pot. After a while some rocks were found which came up Pensioners’ Pot to be stashed at the bottom of Father Duckmas shaft. Having dug a 1m deep hole at the bottom it was then 2/3 filled by collapse. Fortunately, this left a big void which Pete is planning to fill with cemented rocks next week. Nice outward draught from the bottom today. 3½ hours. John.
