What was originally going to be a quick trip to Rowten followed by meeting with with Ian and Hannah in Valley Entrance turned into just Valley Entrance.

Ian and Hannah were wanting to have a look at Toyland and Carrot Passage and I'd been fancying rigging the Roof Traverse for some time, so we decided to combine the two. Stu joined us for good measure.

In the end we decided against the (in my view pointless) crawl to Carrot Passage, but did pop up to Toyland, and I ran out of maillons about 8 bolts away from the metal tyrolean on the Rope Traverse.

Actually a pleasant and different day. Thanks for Ian and Hannah for suggesting it and to Stu for volunteering to derig the Roof Traverse!

Party: Ian Walker, Hannah Bunyan, Stu Weston & Damian Weare
Time: ~3hrs

A nice Sunday bimble :) We got underground and saw some places we'd never been, and some familiar places from a different angle.

Would like to return to the 6foot climb above Toyland Chamber in less wet / less hungover conditions...

About

There are many club organised caving weekends, with a mixture of easy and difficult caving.  Over the past few years we have given lots of people the opportunity to experience caving with our "Try Caving" events.  These are quite popular and quite a few people have subsequently joined the club. We have YSS members caving most weekends so it is easy for new cavers to tag onto the easier caving trips and find people to help with more training.
