Took a group of newbies for a trip into Lancaster/Easegill, dropped in Lancaster main shaft and made our way through to our first port of call which was the Collonades, from here it was along Kaths Way and onto Fall Pot, where the mud seemed to be more slippery than usual.
Climbed dow Fall Pot and made our way down through the Boulder Choke into the Streamway, after a quick look at the Sump we turned round and started to make our way up stream, which with the amount of water in it was very sporty to say the least.
Climbed out just before Oxbow Corner to pick up the High Level route, then carried on through the Minarets and on to eventually end up at the end of Mainline. From here we headed off towords Stop Pot passing the other team who had entered via County Pot and who where going to derig our rope from Lancaster as they made their exit, after a quick chat we carried on and once down Stop Pot we made our way up stream to eventually end up at Easter Grotto.
After a look at Easter Grotto we retraced our steps back to Mainline to pick up our exit route, which was going to be Manchester By-Pass and an exit via County Pot, derigging the rope left by the other guys.
Trip time 6 hrs

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.
