Mike Kushy, Tuska and John Cooper. MK and T to begin with. After a few hours fettling the dumper truck we got it moving and unloaded on the big spoil heap (I'll leave Tuska to go into details about that with the Templeton team). We then set about clearing TempleTwin around 1pm, T on surface and MK clearing (massive amount of gravel!). JC arrived around 1.30 and the 3 cleared until 3.30, 45 buckets cleared. Still just more gravel and no sign of solid yet so more clearing to be done and I have a suspicion the breaker is going to earn its value next session. The limestone on the eastern wall looks to be going soft (this'll be the void areas I kept hitting whilst drilling), the limestone is rotten with a 6 inch band of mud next to it. A dry day until 3pm, then very damp. 9.45m deep, but we're at least 10m in reality. Mike.
