204 - Surveying in Riverdance
Dave
Surveying went impressively smoothly modulo the usual crap instrument problems; took ~3h to get to pushing front! I wanted to do more bolting but I wasn't hyper keen + Deep was less keen still so we decided to turn round.
At 2nd pitch met Mark's team doing photos - I posed on the pitch, came out rather well I think. We were informed that thunder was audible in Cave Tree, so rather than go out we went to Choc Salty Balls for a look at the dig 01-35 D.
Sandeep crawled in first + after rearranging some boulders we squeezed out into a little chamber. I climbed up into the ceiling where the draught whistles out of a boulderous chimney. I moved more rocks + got into a horrendously loose chamber - floor is a critical angle boulder slope. Draught comes down from the top but I'm not going up there, it looks bloody lethal.
Went back out for survey gear + surveyed in, amid much ranting at the extreme crapness of the pencil I was using. Couldn't find a good point to link to so the link is a bit of a bodge.
