Seven of us opted for the Mag trip, some had been before and some had not. Lovely day for the walk up, and we were all glad to get underground and cool down.
Fairly steady going as far as Caton Hall and then the fun started with a few people opting to go no further.
Got down to Whale then went and had a look at the start of Kamikazi and Earthworm before turning round to head out.
Think Nigel enjoyed in fact his words were never a fu**ing gain
Trip time 5hrs30

Some really cracking good clear photos Alex.

Think you'll find the good clear photos are down to Susan though John

No idea how I got on this crawly trip.
..... there was talk of other options........ I was envious of Brian going to do GG Dihedral with another club. But maybe next time on a YSS trip in summer?

........But Nigel being the lovely chap that he is, he persuaded me to do Magnetometer. Cheers Nige

At least all the crawling was rewarded by some lovely passage and rock formations (I don't know the correct names for them all, but quite beautiful). They looked as if they had just been carved out. No rounding off of the features.Very clean cut & sharp. Lots of curtains, flow stone, gour pools - everywhere you looked there was something to see.
Some amazing round basin pools, on the floor and even going up the sides, lovely.

Another fantastic day out. I think we should rename it 'sunshine pot'. Alex an'me had another sunbathe on the surface after deciding to go no further than Caton Hall. That sounded like a crawl too far for me

A big thankyou! -to all the team.

A really enjoyable day out.

Yo Gordon, think you'll find it was the Rat Hole that they did and not Dihedral

I'm sure that Alex would have been happy to take the accolade though Keith! Good piccies Susan.

No I am sure he would want Susan to get the credit she deserves for both getting to the places where they were took and for taking them

Magnetometer or carpet burn?

Not sure Rich, but knowing Nigel it could well be carpet burns

;)

My hands are cut to ribbons after todays digging with Alan. Pain all over after this weekends antics, might have to treat myself to a nice massage at the Thai place
in town

.

I always enjoy that cave, I just need to find someone as mad as me to go to the end (Kamikazi or earthworm extensions) as not one of the trips I have been on (various clubs) ever gets much past the whale .
