Notes

2 BRCC men joined up for the Crescent dig this time. (Me and Chris S). The day started off with us lugging 20 and 25kg cement bags across the fells. We then lowered those bags (18 in all, with the help of Ian Peachy) for the next few hours down the entrance pitches. Lunch, then I took Chris on a quick visit to look at the “pinch” point down stream.

Chris was on a short schedule so headed out when we reached the main chamber again at about 2:30. I spent the rest of the time hauling gravel and rock to various places to use as base for the main wall while others built and blasted rock. I exited at around 4:30pm with a very awkward bag of wood, which I think Chris left there as a present for me lol. Productive day, should only be a few more trips before its finished.
