Return To Quarter Way Up Hole

[The Old Ruminator]

Damn. You spend all day making progress then a ruddy great boulder falls down blocking the way on. Try again next week.

Swop any day.

For the third time boulders fell and blocked " the way on ". Not so big but awkward to drill.



2 got sorted. 1 and 3 left to go.

I was at the other end of the tube attempting to remove a boulder and lower the floor but we can now pass a bar through.

Peters Tube may well be a a safer way to access the choke coming in above Lintel Two.

You demolish one nasty bit then get another even worse.

Peters tube from inside the choke. The rock demolished from the other side.

The nasty boulder sat above Lintel Two with an idea for propping next week.

And this is another story ---



Odd yesterday at FCQ. The film crews plastering team were making giant plaster casts of boulders to take back to the workshop to make dummy ones. I did ask why as surely a boulder is a boulder. Ahh for realism they said.
