In Brief:

The glamorous come late. A respectable group of people dressed in boiler suits, including a new face, had already been sitting at the side of the road catching up when Dave’s Ford came to a screaming halt. There soon was a run on the club helmets and lights, and some fidgeting to connect the two, and then we were ready to go, except for the photography-focused Warne's.  But eventually they showed up at the entrance, and we were go.

Continued:

The water was fairly low. We walked fairly comfortably to the first flooded winze, admiring the speleothems on the way. The ladder a bit further ahead sacrificed a step to the author, who could again not resist climbing up and admiring the view. The stalagmites on the tram rails were still in mint condition, and after most had explored both ways of the dichotomy just behind it, including the second flooded winze, this spot allowed for some group pictures. And while Cheryl did some vertical exploration in the chute, Steph paparazzised some dripping straws, and Dave, and more such things. Time, however, had not waited for us, and it had become time to go back. Chipshop was waiting!
