Loved the music choice too, what was it?

This video makes me want to buy a new helmet cam.

Was quite a good turn out for this trip as there was 7 of us in total, with 3 going in via Lost John's with the intention of going back out the same way and 4 going in via Box Head to make there way through to exit and derigg Lost John's.
When we got to the Master Cave we met up with Brian and his team and thats when things changed, I was talked into taking them out via the connection to Notts 2 leaving the rest of my team to exit Lost John's and derigg on the way.
Box Head team Susan Blackburn, Ruth Smith, Rich Rae, Keith Mason
LJ team Brian Cullen, Ales Hrabec, Nigel Steel

Hi Alex, all is possible without the helmet camera, I think it's even better. The music is from Hans Zimmer (Time), he wrote a few excelent soundtracks. This one is from movie called Inception :)

Keith, we also enjoyed our accidental visit of the streamway towards Dead's head :)

Thouroughly enjoyed the trip. First time along Battle Axe Traverse and down Valhalla. Thought the master cave was excellent and could probably do a short part of the downstream passage on the push bike for the 50th. Thanks to Brian for some excellent rigging (even tho we ran out of krabs, well we didnt actually run out as we compromised) and to Kieth for mentoring us thro some tricky route finding into Notts II. A brilliant trip with something for everyone, cannot wait to go down LJ again. Oh and thanks to Ales'Francis Ford Cupolla' Harbrec for the movie :)

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.
