Report from Mike Moxon

Joe was digging bottom left, Mike top centre, Jon bottom right, we filled 36 buckets (one the base has half gone, so that was retired afterwards). We all removed some smaller rocks from face, and the mud formations are now mostly gone, but proved to have no air space beyond, the mud reaching the roof again. Them all hauled back to dump on the spoil heap (we didn't use the middle haul, but manhandled them along the passage). Met up with Ed, James and Estelle in the Hunters' after their MCR first aid training

Report from Mike Moxon

Kerry, Joe, Charlie, Ben, Jon and I did 2 sets of buckets (58 dumped down the side passage and 14 on the main spoil heap). All did some digging, removing two more big rocks from bottom left of dig face (now in hollow behind the massive boulder), along with quite a few smaller ones. I took these pictures of the mud formations centre top

Report from Mike Moxon

Joe Holloway, Charlie stoddart and Mike headed in to dig, filling 53 buckets from the front (fair amount of small rocks, but no big ones removed this week), another bucket was filled with mud from around the final haul / steps into chamber. Harley helped fill the half set. Jon and Ed were also on hauling duties. Bigger rocks that were already out were moved to the side. Some of the mud was dumped down the side passage. Out of the main gate by 9pm - small gate into field no longer shuts properly and blue rope only just reaches.
