As the weather was a little bit better on the Saturday, we opted to try and get underground somewhere for a trip. 9 of us set of and after a quick change and a short walk we were soon underground after double rigging the entrance pitch to speed up the exit :)
Once underground we split up into several groups and went off for a look around different parts of the system, bumping into each other as we went.
Trip time 4hrs30
Sharon Abbott, Samantha Mason, Susan Blackburn, Ales Hrabec, James Brooks, Pete James, Paul Geddes, Stu Weston, Keith Mason

Where did you go? double rig the entrance pitch, hmm, where could you do that in high water which leads to a system big enough to get around for a couple hours.

Im stumped,


I'll tell you next time I see you :)
Although I think Paul is going to ask you to enlarge some photos so that should stop you guessing :)

The YSS had a permit for Lancaster Hole on the Saturday so I suspect that is the place they went. B)

aah, wouldn't have guessed there, didn't think you would be able to double rig through the entrance pitch lid. I am learning today!


Just speeds things up dude when there is a lot of you :)

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.
