This was supposed to be a Derbyshire “caving weekend” so I felt duty bound to go down at least one hole in the ground.

Decisions decisions… no contest really according to James and Gary it had to be “The Only Cave in Derbyshire”.

I couldn’t remember the way through so I consulted the expert, James, “Just keep turning right, you can’t go wrong”.

I assembled a crack team, Julie, Michael and myself set off for what should have been a quick trip. Hours and hours later we emerged blinking into the sunlight, I’m not saying I got us lost it’s just that I wanted to see some of the less explored parts of the system, some of them several times. Oh how we laughed.

It was a good trip though and we did have a few chuckles along the way, I bet Julie giggles to herself when she recalls climbing down the rift to the crab walk with me providing a safety rope, she shouted “ Hold me!” and I thought she said “Rope free!” and let go, whoops!. Anyway Julie is expected to make a full recovery and Michael may come caving again.

Here’s to next time.

blimey! eventful
