Re-posted from the wrong thread

After a long discussion both the night before and on the morning of the trip, Phil & I made out way to the head of Titan Shaft. The spoil heaps had disappeared since my last visit making it slightly harder to find. The key supplied would not go into the lock let along turn, so we had to think of another plan.
We popped back to TSG and changed the callout to JH but we only had the rope for Titan, so we used the 60 on the entrance, the 50 on Bitch pitch, leaving us with the 80 to replace the two 50s below the workshop. Needless to say this did not work very well, so we aborted before the bottom. It was a good trip & Phil did some of the rigging.
I am sure someone has extended Cartgate since the last time I did it. Maybe I was younger & thinner, or maybe its selective amnesia

Phil & Dave, time about 4 hours.

That happened to me and Nigel Berry plus a few others a couple of years ago.  Someone gave us a key (who shall remain nameless) for Titan but it didn't fit.

We ended up going to Eldon Hole instead.

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.
