John Cooper, Adrian Vanderplank and Jude Vanderplank. Warm 24°C, sunny and calm on surface. Dry underground. One mix of cement split into 2 buckets taken down by Jude and Adrian. Jude had a look at the bottom, declaring the rift not to be as wide as indicated in last week’s photo. John then used up the cement walling about 1m above the floor. Adrian had thought a couple of larger rocks could also be cemented in but when John touched them with the crowbar they fell to the floor revealing a lot of mud behind them. They need capping down a size before hauling up Pensioners’ Pot. Adrian took photos looking down at John working. 1½ hours. John.
