John Cooper, Pete Hann, Kate Lawrence, Adrian Vanderplank and Jude Vanderplank. Cool, 10°C, and overcast with a light shower halfway through the session. Last weekend the hauling platform was extended by the addition of the “Diving Platform”. This enables a simple reach out to grab the spoil bucket rather that the awkward swing and pull required previously. Also, partway through this session, the bucket was transferred from the middle of the rope to the end as the haulback line was no longer needed. With Kate at the bottom, as usual, a total of 40 loads of mud and 4 of rocks were hauled out. In addition 2 small newts, 2 toads, 1 frog and a hairy caterpillar were moved to new homes. To complete the session one mix of cement was used to build up the platform at the base of the top ladder. This enabled the top clamps to be moved onto the next to top rung of the entrance ladder. Next jobs are to stop the mud slumping into the pit, which is now 1.5m deep, and to sort out the ever growing gap between the bottom ladder and the middle ladder! 2 hours. John.
