10/12/25 grills fixed on 2 holes

Report from Mike Moxon

Mike M checked the water level, which was totally filling lower passage, so most of tools underwater and two tubs we left by railway under roof were also full. I moved everything that I could reach back to top of spoil heap, except the trolley, which is above Stu's seat. Mike Wise drilled holes around both grills and fitted bolts, with Jon's assistance. They only used single hole plates, so are turned out to hold grill from all 4 sides, but can be rotated to still allow access.

25/11/25 end chamber starting to flood...

From Mike Moxon - Jon, Harley and he were digging. 

End was flooded to similar depth as last week, but right across final chamber, so no longer draining. Moved about 5 tubs of mud and similar number of rocks back to entrance, tools back to middle haul and bigger rocks back a bit from chamber. Also filled 4 bags from tubs and some of pile on top of spoil heap, to raise edge of wall.
