Caiti had developed a masochistic streak & suggest that we try Sleets Gill.
It was good with the short walk from the car & maybe hydrophobia would keep us cool.
We met at the hut where we gained Lukasz & headed over to the cave where we met Lee Smith, who wanted to have a look at the Wharfdale Sump in low water.
The walk up to the cave was a bit warm but short, it was much more pleasant inside.
We quickly walked to the end of the main passage with a quick side trip in Galley Sump (which was still a sump) but missing the passage to Wharfdale Sump.
Lee then went back to find his sump & we dropped down a hole & crawled into the (f cold) water, with Caiti in the lead.
After a couple of right turns there was a rift allowing room to stand & an unpleasant continuation of the stream.
Caiti was not sure, so I forged ahead & after a few minutes of low crawling got to some larger passage.
The others then told me (through a connecting rift) that they we not coming through, so I went on to find the Ramp.
I got to it after about 15 minutes of stooping, walking & crawling over muddy boulders. The way up looked very slippery, so I left it for another day and returned to the main passage where I found the others.

Trip time about 3 hours.
