Details: Friday - Long Drive, Setup Camp, Walk to The New Inn at Clapham -Top To Be Written Up Saturday - Colin Leads Lionel & Patrick Stream to Bar with Round tip via Hensler's mud Crawl
Stopped to look at the rope dangling there from the rigged Hensler's Pot entrance. On though to Hensler's Mud Crawl (Lionel and Patrick were muttering murderous threats in my direction, I'd have been in trouble if they hadn't been too cold and tired to get me! We popped up into the far side of Mud Hall, traversed across and up the chain. Then made our way back to the Main Chamber. Patrick was looking lovingly at the winch, followed by more mutterings, I though for a moment I was going to have a mutiny on my hands. After an awe struck wander round the main chamber we made our way back to SE Passage and along to the bottom of bar pot. A good prusik and we were up. After the round trip we were a little fatigued and so the awkward bit at the top of Bar Pot was a bit of a tease, but here we are popping back out into the sunshine. Patrick grumbling the he didn't want to do Bar Pot again for a very long time (which turned out to be about 26 hours!) -Top Saturday - Ali leads trip to Both Sell Gill and Alum Pot -Top To Be Written Up Sunday - Colin Leads Rupert and Patrick Flood to Bar -Top To Be Written Up Sunday - Ali leads trip to Simpsons etc -Top To Be Written Up Monday - Colin Rupert Lionel and Patrick Walk Austwick to Horton -Top To Be Written Up Monday - Ali leads trip to Diccan -Top To Be Written Up |
