John Cooper, Nigel Graham, Pete Hann and Jude Vanderplank. Spoil clearance up
the entrance shaft. Not as wet as expected after all the recent rain. Jude at
the bottom loading, John on the Naughty Step, Nigel and Pete on the surface.
Short delay waiting for the pheasant shooters to pass, then changed and hauling
started. After 13 loads Jude needed a large rock breaking up so John went down
and, after quite a bit of effort, reduced it to hauling size. Then back to
hauling and a total of 21 loads achieved. More could be removed. Jude took
before and after clearance photos. 1½ hours. John.
