(y) to Markc for helping me with a tidy up of Treak Cliff show cave New Series. Spent a good 4 hours fettling the place up, removing a large sack full of oddments.

Find of the day was Smiths crisp packet advertising a 'Superstars' pullover for ?4.99 with a closing date of 31st October 1977!!  :blink:
2 torches
Many, many hair grips
Quite a bit of loose change - all post decimalisation this time round
Half eaten apple
Disused flash bulbs from 126 film cameras (remember them?)
original type ring pull coke cans
Quite a lot of general ditritus was removed, this being the third or fourth clean up in Treak Cliff over last few years, there was substainally less this time.
However, it builds good relationships between ourselves and the owners.

Also all stal was given a light spray of dilute hydrochloric acid at the behest of the management, and various gutters cleaned.

Quite a few tours came through with guides explaining what we were doing - i.e. cleaning, and us explaining why we were so mad!  :LOL:
