My first visit to the Mendips - what a great place including the Hunters Lodge.
Went in Swildons - and followed the stream to the bottom - through sump 1 (Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr) and onto sump 2 - had a look then headed back through sump 1 (much warmer as we left the immersion heater on) then headed up up and away.
Martin helped assist a rather knackered young lady up the ladder on the twenty, went down the wrong passage on the way out - a real Alice in Wonderland moment.
Back to to the Wessex for tea and medals.

Nigel, Julie, Gary, Martin, Finchmeister.

Time - about 3 hours.

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.
