20/8/14

Estelle Sandford, James Begley, Mike Moxon
2hrs
Clearing bang debris - Estelle went in first and quickly filled about 15 skips which the lads hauled out, then swapped with James who did about the same number again. Mostly gravel coming out, but some bigger chunks as well and James pulled out a large rock from the floor towards the end of his session too. Estelle went back in for a final couple of skips - we have gone down a good 2.5ft into an approximately 2ft x 2.5ft hole and there is probably another hour or so worth of gravel clearing to go. To the left as you look at the ladder is solid rock and will probably need banging again to make it bigger. To the right is still quite a lot of gravel going down, but quite narrow and there is a slot in the floor heading in the direction of the ladder that is a couple of inches wide by about a foot deep - can't really see clearly on as the gravel keeps backfilling it at the moment but ideally we need to employ a dwarf orangutan! Took a few photos at the end of the session.
