2.5hrs

Duncan, Miri and Mike rotated through digging all evening while Stu was fettling the aerial runway and James, Estelle and Jon were hauling and emptying buckets and Jon filled bags to go around the base of the ladder to protect it from getting buried! The aerial runway takes the need for 2 extra people out, so means we can get away with 5 now. 3 below and 2 surface hauling and emptying. The base of the wall is in place, so getting some filled bags in place as a path was the next mission as the mud is still very sticky. Repaired buckets with string for handles don’t work on the runway so we need to get some more as down to 4 useable ones. Hopefully back to more regular digging again now the engineering works have been done and we’ve set up for better spoil dumping – hopefully we might find cave with space to dump stuff before we run out of space…!
