As i missed JH due to man flu, it was time to have ago. Lovely moring although a bit chilly, we set off things were looking good until we got to the entrance, Julie announced that she had lost the key.:( So we set off back the way we came to try and find it, luckily we did:laugh: So game on.
Dropped down the mine shaft, through cart gate, down bitch pitch, and Leviathan. Sat ate a Titan choc bar - awailble in Aldi, all cavers should buy them. Piccy with choc bar had to be done - see newsletter later. Steady prussik back up, no epics all good fun.Final entrance shaft (50M) DONE IN by that point. Great trip. Thanks Keith

Yeah bit of a long day....but eh!..thats caving :)
Job was made a bit easier though as Lee had been in Friday and rigged it to the bottom...nice one Dude:laugh:
To speed things up on the way out I had put another rope on the entrance pitch, however as we were making our way back out we met another crew coming in who were on a Titan exchange. So now there were three ropes.....seemed rude not to, so we prussiked back up in tripledom :cheer:
(is there such a word as tripledom????answers on a postcard please:laugh: )

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.
