Estelle Sandford, Mike Moxon, Jonathan Riley, Stu Lindsay
2hrs
After checking the place for surplus frogs/toads/newts and putting about a dozen in a bucket to remove later, we got on with digging the top dig. Estelle got 2 new buckets of the good type and set to work digging first. Fairly easy digging through layers of sediment and gravels, clays, etc. like usual. Still following a solid floor at the moment and have solid roof about 4ft above and about 3ft wide with solid walls. Air circulating well. Jon went in after Estelle and then Stu and Mike, all doing 15 buckets each, but Stu stuck in a sneaky one, so we got to 61! By the end of the digging the roof is going up slightly so maybe another aven? Dig continuing well forward and can lose the bar in it.
