4 of us went for a quick blast down Gentlewoman's and exited out through Youd's Level, the two squeezes just after Overseer's Chamber had to be dug out but still had a lot of water in them....lovely :whistle:
The rest of the trip went without any probs and the Coffin Level was just as long as we remembered it was, the good thing is that they have fixed the leaking sewer pipes that used to drip into the last section under the road, although it still smells of p!$s :woohoo:

That it is, the entransc is up on Masson Hill and the exit is behind the public toilets at Artists Corner. It is a classic that you should do dude

Keith, we must do this agin, Stu, James B and I were on a trip to do this with Ian hale many years ago - I still need to get my welly back from one of those deep shafts, doing the sewer with only one welly wasn't nice.

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.
