Monday 4th November

Estelle Sandford, Stu Lindsay, James Begley
1.5hrs

Estelle and Stu turned up earlier and drilled and prepped for banging the dig with Estelle drilling the holes and setting it up under Stu’s direction. 5 holes drilled around the hole in the base and then James turned up to help haul and also after setting off the bang, we sorted out the rope on the tripod which had come off the pulley. Gave the bang about 10mins to clear and went and had a look. Lots to clear, rock is very layered so bang has loosened a lot but not actually made as much progress has hoped. Hopefully attacking with a hammer after clearing on next bang will get rid of a bit more rock, but getting far too cold now to be outside hauling so heading towards putting to bed for the winter months.
