With no plan where to go and fears from Fiona Ds recent warnign over localised deluges, I opted for somewhere I'd been in similar conditions at the end of last year, Washfold Pot in the Alum area. It was fresh in the mind after Damian went up there a couple weeks ago and after not getting past the bottom of the big pitch first time I was there I have unfinished business.
I struggled in the entrance rift carrying bags and was surprisingly unhappy underground so after arriving at the climb up to the climb down to the kit putting on chamber, I decided, after mulling it over for far too long, that enough was enough, if I was unhappy now and it started to rain then I'd be mighty unhappy on the way out and I left it there to exit the cave to annoyingly blue skies and glorious sunshine :blink:

Ian if you are going to be up in the near future and I'm around, I'd go back in if you want a bit of company ;)

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.
