Mike Kushy and Lee Venning arrived on site for 10am. The weather wasn’t too bad with a mix of sunshine and the odd shower. We got straight to work clearing the spoil, with MK down the shaft filling buckets and LV on the winch. After about 40ish buckets MK got to work with the breaker and before long it was back to hauling buckets, with some rather large rocks coming out. We stopped at 12.30pm for a quick lunchbreak. After lunch MK went back down the shaft on the breaker and filling buckets and LV was back on the winch.
At about 2pm Dave Morrison joined LV on the surface and took up winch duty while LV emptied the buckets. This continued until we got to 135 buckets (the spoil heap is bloody massive now). MK then drilled 7 x 600mm holes (breaking one of LV’s drill bits in the process). Estimated depth now 9.5m.
MK then got to work
setting up so the holes he had drilled could be destroyed, we all retreated to
a safe distance and the holes were destroyed. 7 hours. Lee.
