John Cooper, Wayne Starsmore, Adrian Vanderplank and Jude Vanderplank. Nice and dry with a good outward draught again today and still cooler on surface. Spoil hauling. Jude loading, Adrian above her, Wayne above him and John at the top each time. Started hauling up Father Duckmas, next haul was to The Tunnel, third haul was to the bottom of the entrance shaft. Final haul had John and Wayne on surface and 11 rather heavier loads were hauled up to add to the surface heap. 2¼ hours. John.

John Cooper, Wayne Starsmore, Adrian Vanderplank and Jude Vanderplank. Nice and
dry with a good outward draught today, cooler on surface at last. Capping kit taken
in and used by Adrian at the bottom. Jude just above, Wayne at The Dwarf Trap
and John stashing rocks temporarily at the top of Pensioners’ Pot. After a
while the bottom three changed to clearing clatch and stashing it in the walls
so John ferried some of the rocks to the bottom of Father Duckmas. On returning
it was back to rock hauling. At the end of the session all the rocks were
cleared from the top of Pensioners’ Pot and stashed at the bottom of Father
Duckmas. Needs a hauling session now. 1¾ hours. John.
