12/8/25

Report from Mike Moxon

Ed was digging on the left, Mike on right (around roof boulder - still not exposed enough to lever). Jon then moved buckets back to James on first haul. After 33 buckets were filled, Mike had a go at moving said boulder, but had more success with a smaller one behind the giant on the left, although it only shifted an inch or two it's definitely a loose tooth, whilst still sat on plenty of mud, so not going to slump, but probably best being worked on when you haven't got anyone else behind you. Others emptied the buckets with minimal scraping required, before retiring to the Hunters.

1.5hrs

Estelle on left digging and Matilda on the right, easy digging and is quite dry in there now so not getting very dirty at all from digging or hauling. Filled the 33 skips and then hauled them out, emptying them into the old left hand dig. The whole dig face is still going forwards and down, the right has a large boulder in the roof, which at the end Estelle had a prod at, but it isn't loose yet, Small rocks were coming out from above it though confirming it is a rock rather than wall. Headed to the Waldy after.

Report from Mike Moxon

Matilda was digging, I believe alongside Ed. Jon was passing buckets back and James hauling. Mike arrived just in time to move loads back to second haul and start that (next time we need a knife to replace skip - it's tied in - there are more skips near entrance ladder, with at least one old krab there and another in my car). Buckets hauled back to Stu at the entrance, where a few were emptied down side passage and rest on spoil heap. 18 then went back down for total of 52 loads removed (although one handle broke, so down to 33 from now)
