142 - 41 CONNECTION SURVEYING AND DERIGGING
Gail Smith
PMS, BGS Blasted on down to the foot of the pitch in Stellerweg and surveyed back to one of Dave's survey marks in the chamber before the big chamber in 142.
Went down the big pitch, admired the bolts and denigrated the rigging. Wandered around Big Chamber with bolting kit looking for Mike's hole in the floor but didn't find it. It all looked pretty broken up, somewhere through that lot there must be a crawl bypass to the big pitch.
Came out and derigged. On the way back did a couple more survey stations at the points where our & Dave's surveys diverged slightly.
Out to stars and a leisurely walk back. Back at camp at 0130.
7½ hours underground PMS + BGS
P.S. dusty phreatic passages that have not been touched since the last ice age are not recommended for contact lens wearers.
