A good day out in an almost Mendip cave near Malham.
With the name list continually changing, we did not know the exact numbers until we left the YSS.
We ended up with seven in Robinsons' (there were a further 5 in Rowten).
Having given the farmer a couple of boxes of chocolates, we hung a ladder down the manhole under the kitchen window and descended into the cave.
Damian led the following the survey, through a cobble crawl (slightly tighter than category 2) and onward to the Darnbook streamway. The team stopped short of the downstream sump and then headed upstream until the water became deep and chilly. Various member dropped out until only Phil & Myself were left when we got into the Worm series.
On the way out we visited another collectors' piece at the north end of McColl's Rift before heading out.
A good trip with lots of type 1 fun.
Team: Damian, Dave, Eve, Finchy, Paul, Phil & Ros.
