A return trip to try and find Crusader Squeeze, retraced last weeks trip to get to the Aven and after trying a few leads to nowhere we eventually found the obscure window. We made it through this and up the tight climb, made harder by the smooth mud covered walls. Once we had passed Crusader Squeeze the going got a bit easier as we made our way along Crusader Passage, eventually we arrived at the up and down ropes that drop you into Knights Templar. From here we made our way up several ropes to arrive in the Priory, very impressive and all that was left was to head out and the joys of the squeeze which was easier on the way out. Then back along Pilgrims Way drop the pull thru and out.
Trip time 4hrs30

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.
