As i just wanted an easy trip and some of the WCMS were doing a Swinsto through trip I opted to join them, well sort of :lol:
As there were 7 of them and it would be a fairly long trip time, I took a seperate rope and went ahead of them for a steady trip through. Water levels were quite low and pretty soon I arrived at the Master Cave, quick prussik up the in situ rope :laugh: and then the stroll to exit Valley Entrance. Was greeted by a sight you don't normally see when you exit a cave :ohmy:
Trip time 1hr30

I wonder if the CNCC are going to take that rope out as well?

A trip update ... 1 x WCMS, 5 x MCG (Mendip) and myself (YSS/MCG) and I am afraid to say our trip was rather longer and colder than Keith's 1 hour 30. We would like to claim 1 hour 32 (BUT CANT) :silly:
Keith, you may have had to wait a rather long time if your rope had caught :laugh: :laugh:

Great time, with the previous day spent down a couple of Alum's routes.

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.
