Report from Stu/Mike

18/6/24

James Begley, Mike Moxon, Jon Riley, Stu Lindsay, Fran Campbell

Some preparation work to aim to dig soon now the end has drained. Stu drilled a hole for a hanger for a safety line for the ladder, but the drill snapped off, so wasn’t able to complete the work. The rope supplied by Blitz is now in 2 pieces with one having 2/3rds of the necessary knots in, which Stu has taken home to complete.

Mike took a look at the right hand passage, looks much the same as previously but with extra slime from the floods, but a couple of rocks in the roof at the start have come out. He then dug a couple of rocks out from the collapse at the main end and there is about a dozen tubs worth of slump there and another half dozen below aven. Poured some water into end slot and it disappeared left out of view and gurgled away (probably more ahead direction), Finally removed both skips to daylight and filled a couple of buckets with mud from around the steps.
