I must admit I forgot the difficulties of this place, when I suggested to John that he should come with us I also forgot it was actually grade 5 not 4!

However the trip went fine, Don rigged the pitch (under protest) and I don’t know who rigged the lower pitches, I only know Dan de-rigged them and the big pitch. It was a wet trip, something I had not introduced John to before, it turned out to be very energy sapping in a cotton boiler suit! Despite this and the SRT difficulties, crawls and climbs did not pose him or us too much of a problem. But we were all a little sleepy when back at the pub

I think he enjoyed his first grade 5 but I think I won’t take him down anything harder than this for a while (or ever), lest he give up caving altogether, it was a sunny day after all, I think he enjoys sunlight for some reason ;).

People present. Dan, Don, John, Me & Shaman.

P.s. Dan I think you got my crabs from the top pitch should be at least 3 (maybe 4) – one a big pair one? I got the one back attached to the sling.

Good trip.
Hopefully someone’s got my crab from the top deviation?

[Xandar]

Dan would likely have that too then.

[Cavedan]

Twas a good trip. And indeed I appear to have 5 crabs that aren’t mine. 3 with silver tape, one bigger one and a red one (presumably Mr Sharman’s devi crab)

[Xandar]

Yeh the other 4 are mine. P.s. it seems I filmed most of the trip by mistake and some of it don’t look too bad.

[Don]

Are you going to put the filmed footage up on YouTube?

[Xandar]

Yeh some of it, but I decided to mix it up with some other vids. Don’t worry you will get your moment of fame!

Vid now on-line (last 3rd) Also included is the Berger finally (Not enough good footage for its own feature length).
