On Monday 25th Feb a permanent dry connection was made through into Ireby 2 thus by passing the sump.This dig has been ongoing for several years with lots of cavers from most clubs in the Dales and beyond.
What I can reveal is that a YSS member was on the team that made this breakthrough.
No names at this stage but I will buy him a pint next time I see him in the Helwith.

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.
