1st trip of the year :) decided to meet at the TSG hut for a cuppa and a cob, several people about and talk of lots of people going in Maskhill and Oxlow :(
So at this point we made a swift exit to go and beat the rush, after calling at the farm to pay our trespass fee ( none of that silly permit stuff :whistle: ) we were the first to arrive at a very windy parking spot.
After getting changed and a steady walk up the hill we soon found ourselves at the entrance, once rigged it was just a steady downward trend to the bottom :)
We opted for the direct hang into waterfall chamber, but then Roy and Ann appeared from the Oxlow side and we decided to do an exchange trip. So after a bit of technical rigging :woohoo: we were soon on our way with 3 going out Maskhill and 3 going out Oxlow to even up bag carrying. Although there was another group followed us in for another exchange trip it didn't cause us too many problems :cheer:
Trip time 3hrs30
Stu Weston, James Finch, Andy Mason, Roy Rodgers, Ann Soulsby, Keith Mason

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.
