Aaron was keen to do a through trip with his friend Jack. He had said to meet at the hut at 09:00 or Bull Pot Farm at 09:40. In the event it was about 10:30 by the time we got there! Lukas & Andy had been waiting for us for quite a while.
The rest of the gang wanted an easier trip and planned a Cow Pow/Lancaster Hole exchange.
Having never managed to get down Cow Pot, I was happy with this plan.
With the knowledge that Cow Pot is easier to descend than to ascend, most of the team opted for the Cow Pot to Lancaster Hole option. Leaving only Paul & Lukas to do the trip in the opposite direction.
Matt rigged the entrance pitch and we all went down, he then went straight over to the tight hole and dropped a rope down the hole and disappeared after it.
I had a go at the hole with my SRT kit on, came out and had another go without my SRT kit, but I clearly was not in thin mode.
The others managed to fit down the hole with various amounts of SRT kit removed. I put my SRT kit back on & headed out of the cave.
On the way back to Bull Pot Farm, I had a chat with someone who was hauling spoil out of Gale Garth, which sounds like an interesting short trip.
About an hour later the teams from Lancaster Hole & Cow Pot started to appear, just in time to exchange money for toys from Tony before heading back to the YSS.
