Had a steady trip to the bottom of Alum pot via Dolly tubs, greasy slab and over bridge.
Very low water levels meant it was actually pleasantly warm at the bottom of Diccan. B)
Neils story about the history of metal box at the bottom near the sump added interest to the trip, as I just saw it as scrap before.

Trip Time 3 hours
Paul Geddes & Stu Weston.

Excellent Video and another cave to cross off your list.
Me thinks you could do some training videos... :)

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.
