Tuesday 6th May 2025

John Cooper, Adrian Vanderplank and Jude Vanderplank. Cave breathing out again today and still nice and dry. One mix of cement split between 2 buckets. As the mix was being done John Small called by and asked that, for the next 2-3 weeks while lambing was in full swing, we drove across the field not follow the road. John started off down with the first bucket of cement whilst the surface team discussed the latest large shakehole that had appeared near Cheddar crossroads (on Whitestone Farm). By the time John had used up the first bucket the second appeared. The full bucket replaced the empty bucket which was hauled up and ferried to the bottom of Father Duckmas by Jude. Once the second bucket was finished this followed and both were taken to the bottom of the entrance shaft by Jude before she finally hauled them to the surface. 1½ hours. John.
