Duncan went to the end to dig accompanied by Jon to assist other end of railway. We had to stage it as not enough people to get all the way to the surface, so we did it in sort of shifts. 53 buckets filled and emptied. Duncan was clearing the right hand wall. Headed to the Waldegrave for refreshments where James was nursing his cut hand that stopped him digging.

Estelle went in to dig. From last weeks capping session, there's a massive pile of boulders in the pool chamber ready to go out. Will save them for when we have time. Digging down still and to the left, very slimy mud between boulders in places. Removed a good number of boulders and added them to the waiting pile, plus a few big ones that will need to be dealt with on a future capping session. Found the floor joining the wall far left, but in the middle, there is still rock and mud going down and going forwards as whilst clearing is undermining rocks that fall out. 60 buckets filled and removed from cave before heading to the Waldy for refreshments.
