Quick after work trip to give two work mates an introduction
A better trip than I was expecting actually, meandered upto the top, then rigged the 'big pitch' (after much re-engineering of a knotted traverse line to get to the far bolt before seeing the third one hiding in the cieling) and after a down and up I let martin have a go at SRT underground and he kindly de-rigged too!
This was then followed by a potter in the down dip workings and a look at some of the archeologie and the seemingly obligitory getting lost finding our way back to the exit.
Got some strange looks walking back through town covered inShit Mud, and even made the young lass in the ice cream shop scream when we leaned through the window to place our order!
Trip Time: 2 hours
Party: Anthony, Martin, Emily
