Thursday 27th August 2026

Daren Chapman, John Cooper, Mark Easterling (Bean), Aidan Harrison, Pete Hellier, Mark Kellaway (Mak), Adrian Vanderplank and Jude Vanderplank. Daren and Pete went to the bottom, followed by Bean and Mak. Pete went a second time to collect a replacement bucket as the split in the one being used got rather large. Spoil was hauled from the top of Father Duckmas to the Tunnel then on up to the bottom of the entrance shaft. Finally 10 rather heavier loads were hauled to the surface together with the broken bucket. 1¾ hours. John.
