Gordon hadn't been to Sunset, so we decided to combine it with a trip to Hardrawkin and Great Douk.

Began with a Great Douk thru-trip, led by Gordon, before moving across to Sunset where we did a bit of assisted-handline practice. We then wandered along to Harwrawkin, enjoying the lively Dales sky as we went. A bimble to the first pitch before we returned. Gordon then reminded me about the upstream continuation of Hardrawkin so, sensing a chance to tick off some new (to me) passage, I eagerly took the bait. Surprised to find quite how much cave there is upstream actually.

Gordon then mentioned a passage on the left just inside Great Douk. Somehow I had never noticed it before, so we decided to pop our heads in and see where it went. It quickly leads to a sump which, although quite low, was unfortunately not low enough.

A pleasant half day finished off with cake and coffee in Bernie's.

Party: Gordon Aitken, Damian Weare
Time: ~ 3.5hrs

Would that be high douk holes? the other way to Hardrawkin? with the rather nice stone entrance.
