Meet Time : 6:30pm-6:45pm

Requirements : Wellies, overalls, helmet, lamp. You may also want to bring a belt and cows tails along.
 
Notes : This is a trip down to the tunnel to see what works needs to be done to clear the track etc. Likely this will be the trip for a couple of weeks to get some traction on this (then I foresee a weekend day trip maybe

Looks like the track clearing will have to wait, the water level is up again over the track  :(

OK, got a bit more to do probably have it back together with another trip, unfortunately though the water level has been well over the pipes and all the tools and stuff are buried in silt, a right mess,and there is loads more silt on the track.

also there has been a collapse on the way in, upper level, part of the false floor has collapsed just after the old jack roll, taken some of the path with it.

I'll try and sort the collapse next time I'm in, any ideas of what's needed
