After a very good social and several beers, the majority of us were still up for Sundays caving trip. To speed things up Nigel, Rich, Emma and Lynn went in via Valley Entrance leaving the 6 of us to do the pull through. After getting changed and a brisk walk up to the entrance we were ready to get underground for a very respectable 10.30 
. After the rigged first pitch we had the pleasure of Swinsto long crawl before the second pitch, the rest off the pitches followed in quick succession all with enough water on to make it a little bit sporting 
. After passing under Swinsto great aven it was back to some localised crawling, even picking up a Mars Bar on the way before reaching the master cave for the stomp down the streamway for the prussic up valley entrance pitch, kindly left rigged by Nigel and Co. All that remained then was to make our way to exit valley entrance.
Trip time 3hrs30
Pull Thru Crew Lisa Wootton, Caiti Morris, Sharon Abbott, Paul Magson, Phil Hawcroft and Myself
