Too much water on the ground for the trip on the meets list so had a permit for Lancaster and headed out there.
New entrance rigged by Alex W, which proved to be a bone of contention as the concrete rings and the removal of certain hangers made for an interesting Y hang. We all zipped down and set off for 'the Graveyard' and Aqua mud sump. Passage to sump had a number of interesting moves. We arrived at a clear sump/pool which had a rope above it to aid a climb up to the roof. This pool was quite large and contained clear water so it does not fit the description of Aqua mud which as it's name suggests is full of horrible mud. We called it a day at this point and returned to 'Bridge Hall'. From here took the usual route to the stream way, washed off and took off down Wilf Taylors passage and Double Decker pot which contained a rope for the climb that was worn through to the core :ohmy: A quick hands and knees down Montague West Passage brought us to the little ladder and the top of Fall Pot. A quick exit from the cave and home for tea and Irish music at the Helly.

Time taken 4 hours

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.
