John Cooper, Pete Hann (later), Adrian Vanderplank and Barry Wilkinson. Had a look at the bottom and stacked a few rocks on the ledge before Adrian and Barry arrived. With me at the top two positions, Adrian in the middle and Barry filling we spend an hour hauling rocks up from the bottom. Adrian and Barry then swapped so Adrian could do some capping. Pete then arrived and a short while later we called it a day. Good draught coming up from the bottom. Needs a few mixes of cemen. John.

John Cooper, Nigel Graham, Pete Hann, Adrian Vanderplank, Jude Vanderplank and Barry Wilkinson. Pete and Jude to the bottom with a mix of cement to do walling to stack muddy gravel behind. The rest of us cleared spoil from the top stacking space to the surface, 40 loads. Adrian and Jude swapped part way through so Adrian could start capping. Once cleared we moved on down and made a good start on filling it up again from the bottom stacking space, which is now clear. 3 hours. John.

Pete and Jude to the bottom to start stacking muddy gravel behind walls whilst the rest of us cleared spoil from the bottom stacking space to the top stacking space. Once cleared we moved on down and made a good start on filling up the bottom stacking space again. Adrian did some capping towards the end. 3 hours. John.

John Cooper, Nigel Graham, Pete Hann, Adrian Vanderplank and Barry Wilkinson. One mix of cement sent to the bottom. Pete dug boulders out of the bottom and then Adrian capped whilst the rest of us hauled their spoil up to the bottom stacking space. Pete was then left with Adrian to use up the cement but they also did more capping. The rest of us went out. 3 hours. John.

John Cooper, Nigel Graham, Pete Hann, Geoff Newton, Adrian Vanderplank, Jude Vanderplank and Barry Wilkinson. One mix of cement sent to the bottom. Whilst Pete and Adrian capped and cemented the rest of us hauled their spoil up to the bottom stacking space. We then left Pete and Adrian creating more spoil and cementing whilst the rest of us moved the spoil on up to the top stacking space and then on up to the surface. Total of 17 loads. 3 hours. John.

John Cooper (late arrival after helping in Bagpit), Nigel Graham, Pete Hann, Adrian Vanderplank, Jude Vanderplank and Barry Wilkinson. One mix of cement sent to the bottom. Whilst Pete and Jude cleared spoil and did a bit of cementing at the bottom the rest hauled spoil to the surface. I arrived as Adrian hauled load 30 to the surface, Nigel was filling and Barry was on the Naughty Step. I joined Adrian and hauled another 22 loads to leave plenty of stacking space for next time. Total of 52 loads. 1 hour for me. John.

Saturday 9th February 2019

John Cooper, Nigel Graham, Pete Hann, Adrian Vanderplank, Jude Vanderplank and Barry Wilkinson. One mix of cement sent to the bottom. Whilst Pete cleared spoil and did a bit of cementing at the bottom the rest of us hauled up to the bottom stacking space. Adrian then replaced Pete and did some capping with the debris being moved up to join that previously raised. The second bucket of cement was then sent down to Pete and Jude. The rest of us hauled all the spoil from the bottom stacking space to the top stacking space. Will need to do a surface haul before much more can go on the top stacking space. 3½ hours. John.
