Notes

I bit off a bit more than I could chew with this trip and I remember it well. Rob took me into wretched first to show me the climbs and I was like yeh it will be fine. The County pot pitch was done on a ladder.

Our route was: Manchester Bypass to Mainline terminus, a quick visit was had to Mainline Passage and Monster Cavern before heading to the Stop Pot ladder. Down the ladder and headed in direction of Depot 1.5. ...

All was good and dandy until we this point, this was a difficult route (bare in mind this was like my 3rd or 4th ever cave trip). I struggled immensely on the climbs in there though I was fine on the squeezes but those rope climbs. I seem to recall the top rope climb coming out wretched being the hardest and must had took me at-least 5 or 6 trys to get up it.
