John Cooper, Trevor Hughes, Mike Kushy and Lee Venning. MK and LV to begin with, we arrived at 11.00. First job was to take out all the fixed ladders and redid the set up so everything is flush and all fastened with slings and maillons rather than polycord. We finished and had lunch around 1300, TH arrived around 13.30. MK went down the hole to clear just as JC arrived. Lots of buckets cleared, then the breaker came out. The floor is made up of calcite and is very holllow so lots cleared. TH took over from MK after 41 loads hauled out and continued to end of the session. Still more breaker work to do. We also removed the large frail 4 inch pipe used for ventilation and replaced it with some new 2 inch pipe. 60 buckets cleared. Done for 17.00. Mike.
