John Cooper, Nigel Graham, Pete Hann and Kate Lawrence. Single mix of cement taken in. Half used by John at bottom of Father Duckmas Shaft and the rest part way down Pensioners’ Pot. Kate and Pete at the bottom digging out clatch and wiggling boulders in the floor. 1½ hours. John.

John Cooper, Nigel Graham, Pete Hann and Kate Lawrence. Double mix of cement taken in. Pete took in first bucket with Kate and started wall building at the bottom. John and Nigel followed. Once Pete had used the first bucket Kate filled in behind the wall and then Pete used up the other two buckets. Nigel only got as far as his ‘Orrible Overhang. Pete thinks he will only need 1 mix at the bottom next week. There are rocks at the bottom of Father Duckmas which can be used up. James has asked us not to drive across the field but to stick to the track. 2½ hours.

John Cooper, Pete Hann, Kate Lawrence and Adrian Vanderplank. Good double mix of cement taken in and used by Pete at the bottom trying to stabilise last week’s collapse. Will need more of the same! 1½ hours. John.
