    Our midweek planning finally came to fruition for Alex and I, meeting at Skipton before heading up to Kettlewell in my car. The weather was absolutely freezing with a fluttering of snow, so we decided to use a 4 wheel drive car.

    Providence to Dow never disappoints as it’s such a fine streamway as we all know but a great physical work out to boot.
    We reckon the trip time was 1 hour and 40 minutes, with almost as much walking as caving!
    It sounded wet as we entered but it wasn’t that bad inside and I hardly got wet in the narrows. The water never really got above waist high.
    Finished off the evening in The Kings Head in Kettlewell for an enjoyable pint.

    Did you both make it through The Narrows without too much faff (i.e. no swearing from Alex)?

    I actually took the high route this time (the bypass has a squeeze almost as tight but dry) and Rob asked me where the narrows where underneath me. Rob is the original thin man! Still hard to keep up!
