Drove up with Peter. Brian not very well again. Up to the Shaft after meeting Matt. Tried to hammer in the spacer but the ruddy head fell off the mallet. Why do they make such shite ? A to do next week but best off the SRT line. Water at 5m 25cm thats 21cm lower than last week. A huge amount of rubble and large rocks were removed by dinner time. Some big bits of fallen roof were capped in the afternoon, We are right in to the furthest point seen so far still with a rock jammed in the floor. Peter found that the floor was going down considerably. Mud and boulders and also rising on the left. So many boulders were being dug out of the floor that we could not leave the site tidy. Two loads did go down the shaft but the 17 full bags were stacked.. Still boulders back at the dig. Throughly knackered we called it a day and visited Becky and Simon for refreshments.
Easy digging for the moment. Mud and boulders. " Way on view blocked by that last remaining rock.
Peter should be OK for next week.I will ring Brian as usual.
