Brickworks Dig, Penwyllt, South Wales
Sunday 18th August 2002

We have started piling the fill which came in from the surface into sand bags and have built a lovely retaining wall with it up in the chamber. Looks like it should work quite well. Spoil removed down to track level as far as the turn left - Graham.

Sidcot Swallet, Burrington Combe, Mendips
Sunday 15th September 2002

Over two hours to fail to complete this novice cave!  Keith ended up head first down a hole and had to be pulled out by the wellies and everyone struggled to get back up the Lobster Pot.
