The epic rigging of Mere-gill Part 2

Date: Saturday 16th July 2016
Weather: Sunny and bright on the surface, underground:Wet, Wetter than Thursday

Attending: Dazofcaving, Dan, Chris

Well attempt 2 came, we met in Inglesport at 10.00 and had a breakfast where Chris informed us it had rained 15-17mm the night before (oh dear).

Off we went to cave, which amazingly was wetter than Thursday and the entrance deviation doing sweet FA to keep things dry. We quickly made it to the end of where Alex rigged to and Chris took the rigging charge with me doing the carrying and Dan checking the rigging and having his input, everything went swimmingly (quite literally in some parts) till the forth pitch which was wet, Chris looked over but didn’t fancy it so called it a day.

Dan came down to join us and had a go getting to the wetest bit and declaring it was wet but ok, i followed him down and managed to get stuck under a waterfall which was rather grim. Chris helped be get back up and Dan came back to see what the trouble was, with the wetness we decided to call it a day and head out.

So once back the surface we discussed the next move, a couple of sections need adjusting and we’ve rigged half way down the third.

One more attempt in better weather and its done
