Decided to join the diggers for the Grand Day Out, but as things go, maybe it should have been called the Grand Weekend Out.
This was due to Paul and Myself becoming trapped the wrong side of the sump, when it filled back up. So had no choice but to sit it out for 16 hours and wait for CRO.
When they arrived at 7 oclock Sun morn, apparantly they had been busy getting people out of other caves, including the rest of the Ireby crew.
It seemed the best way was to dive out, so this done we were fed and watered, then made our way out the cave.
Big thanks to the Divers and the rest of the CRO crew.
Trip time 23hrs

I know the YSS have recently donated some money to the CRO - but I didn't realise that this was in the expectation of using their services!

Nice one Fiona, that made me

But just like to say once again, it is nice to know that there is a bunch of guys out there who put there neck on the line to help us out, no questions asked.

Pleased your OK Keith and made it out safe and sound! How on earth did you entertain your selves for 16 hours... or is that between you and Paul

Pleased your alright.

Shall have to raise some more money for CRO now!

Jeepers. Be Safe!

Blimey, the CRO estimate 1120 hours of volunteer involvement in the rescue at Ireby!
