4 diggers today – end puddle had dropped
by about another 6inches, the end was dry to dig. Easy digging. Estelle first,
then Jon, then James and then Dave did a short shift of 10 compared to everyone
else doing 15-27 buckets.

Estelle checked the end on arrive and success, we’re digging
tonight. Mike headed in and dug first with Estelle digging a bit in the passage
above where there is still flood debris. Once the first round of 18 buckets had
been filled, we all headed up to the top to help empty them as it’s hard going
with only 5 of us. Once done, Dave went in and dug and the rest of us hauled
and carried. Again headed out to empty the bulk of them. Decided we were all
feeling a bit achy after 2 rounds of buckets so decided not to push for the 3rd
one this week! Beers at the top again – starting to get a little midgey, need
the pub open soon before we get eaten alive!

Water levels had dropped by about another foot since last
week, and it looks like we’ll clearly be back digging next week. We spent the
evening cleaning off some of the passageway of the mud caused by the winter
flooding to make it a little cleaner and also help smooth the passage for the
skip run. Another night of a beer at the surface as no pub yet!
