Članska vas Village at Najdena jama Cave


 


 
32628. It was a cozy, warm, sunny autumn day.


 

 


 
32625. Final preparations for the cave and surface action: Žan, Marjan and Gregor


 

 


 
32626. Marjan discovered that it would be better to mount both window casements (okensko krilo in Slovenian), blind as they are, upside-down as the original lower side is already worn out by the rain while the original upper side is not. So Žan readily dismounted both window casements ...


 

 


 
32627. ... to mount them again in the reversed orientation.


 

 


 
32629. Western table bench was removed to put it in the now closed NW corner of the gazeebo: Žan, Ile and Jure.


 

 

From Ground Zero at -15 m Back to the Cave Entrance


 


 
32637. Gregor in action at the excavation front


 

 


 
32632. Marjan just above the bend to the final tunnel


 

 


 
32631. Marjan is sliding down to excavation front, to help Gregor


 

 


 
32636. Marjan returning with a bucket ...


 

 


 
32633. ... which he pushed up ...


 

 


 
32634. ... to lift it on top of the 2 m jump at -10 m.


 

 


 
32635. The bucket is now already in firm Brajko's hands at -5 m.


 

 


 
32638. Several rocks were too big to haul up. Here Gregor just broke one of the bigger ones into 4.


 

 


 
32639. The biggest remainder was pushed over the jump where Marjan placed it into the bucket on the rope, here in Brajko's ...


 

 


 
32640. ... hands already.


 

 


 
32641. The task of hauling it up the entrance shaft fell on Andrej, here seen from below ...


 

 


 
32642. ... and from the outside, with the bucket, now filled to the rim and over by Brajko.
