    The weekend just gone was a success. Substantial progress made, circa 1.5m (rock, wasn't easy going; progress to be confirmed).

    Hi all! We have found a promising lead. We are rapidly dropping the distance between Aggy and Daren, but we are having manpower issues (we can't get the spoil out of the dig quick enough as it is a fair distance!!). It has been smoke-tested and there is an audible connection; so confirmed to...
