John Cooper, Pete Hann, Alex Lane, Kate Lawrence, Kazushi Noiri, Adrian Vanderplank, Jude Vanderplank and Wayne Starsmore. Warmed up again,12°C on surface, but breezy. Alex and Kaz went to the bottom as they hadn’t been here before, reported it drippy. Kate and Jude continued digging at the Soakaway turning, Adrian on the Naughty Step and the rest on the surface. After a while the bottoming party returned and assisted the underground team. Total of 22 loads of muddy clatch hauled out today. Adrian had a quick look at the end before coming out. May need to bang the left hand wall again before deciding whether to keep going here or not. 1½ hours. John.
