Mike Kushy, John Cooper and John Gisborne. MK to begin with. Made a mix and carried on with the ladder pit wall. Then a go at pf work down the bottom. JC turned up around 2ish and we cleared anything loose from the dig face. JG showed up aroud 3ish and took over from JC hauling, a dozen or so more buckets removed. We may have to start looking at using a breaker or HE soon. Mike.

Mike Kushy, Mike Wise and John Cooper. MK and MW to begin with. With MW at the dig face and MK on the winch loads of mud removed. The pair swapped over and more mud removed. Once down to rock MW went back in to do some pf work. MK in the mean time made a mix and continued with the ladder pit wall. JC turned up and MW left around 2ish. JC took over from MK wall building and MK went to continue with the pf work, widening the dig face. JC did another 3 bucket mix in the meantime. The winch and mesh grid has now been cable tied down and the area around the winch levelled out. Ali Moody popped by on her walk and got a photo.  7 hours. Mike.
