Friday 4th Dec – Rob & Jeff

Another Lockdown duo to continue down Shattered Dreams. The end of last trip was starting to look really good so we excitedly (and unfortunately very optimistically) took a short rope and SRT kits to the dig. A breakthrough however did not happen as all we really managed to do was move a bit of stuff out and then collapse two huge boulders back into the dig. Need to return with lots of caps!

 

Friday 11th Dec – Rob & Jeff

The duo returned with lots of caps, a bigger bucket, and no SRT gear! Roughly 20 holes later and lots of fighting with large boulder pieces we had cleared the “pitch head” and boy the draught is big now, even with the entrance lid shut (which we do now to try to keep us warmer!). However the pitch is through/down a narrow slot that is currently too small to get through.

Before - During - After

It does look good beyond though, definitely bigger, and at least 5m of pitch, maybe 10. Get the feeling that Doom is not far away now!
