Just TAP (Rob & Jon) again. Tonight was the night we were going to finally survey the connection. It's a squalid job but someone has to do it. I took my camera gear too with intentions of getting a picture at the connection. So geared up we headed underground and quickly made our way to the start of vulgarious. It wasn't long before we reached For Buck's Sake where Rob got his lovely clean disto out from its case and started lasering. The funny thing was the disto only had one bar of battery left. So without messing about we started to survey through the connection. I was to crawl through first whilst Rob surveyed to my tackle bag. Once Rob then reached the tackle bag I would progress forward and he'd shoot again. This worked quite well and we made quick progress through the squalid section to the climb down rift. We had a quick think about how we were going to survey through the duck and the connection, but after some consideration we just carried on in the same method and finally tied in the survey to Rob Middleton's station in race against time with just enough battery left!
Now it was time to take some photos. Rob was very kind and posed for long enough whilst I got my s*** together. We then headed back for a connection photo, which as you can imagine was rather grim for both parts but more so Rob who had his face in the water for around 5 minutes. Slowly out whilst Rob carried a cylinder. We made our way to surface quickly washed off and headed to the Moon for a celebratory pint as Rob won the bet of carrying out the cylinder.
