Gavel Pot

The derigging party arrived, with impeccable timing, just as the rigging party were on their way out. When he discovered we were planning on going down to the sump, Lionel swapped allegiances and the derigging party swelled to an impressive 8 people.

Mention must be made of Nigel, who provided us all with a good half hour's entertainment on the 3rd pitch, before we about-turned at the sump and headed for a surprisingly sunny Leck Fell, followed by an excellent BBQ and barrel of beer.

Parties:
Rigging: Brian, Andy, Jess, 'Lionel', James, Anthony & Gordon
Derigging: Keith, Stu, Rob, Nigel, Chris, Pete, Damian & 'Lionel'

An excellent trip despite the obvious embarressment getting hung up on the 3rd pitch. recieved a round of much apprecited applause from the posse when i eventually absielled to the bottom. Talking of which hopefully paid back their kindness by treating some members to some bottom flavas during the exit through the confined climbs

Must say twa's a nice steady trip for a Saturday afternoon, although not all of us dropped the last pitch

Glad our team missed out on Nigels exhaust gasses:evil:

Excellent idea having two parties, even with a defector…

I missed the pretties but made it to the sump.

Great trip, bloody hard work hauling a bag full of water up

nigel dropped something even if it wasn't the last pitch

Glad I was already out
