Short stroll to Manchester and into the spacious streamway, nearing the sump it gets lower but nothing bad, passing through Divers Chamber Alex was dispatched to the surface to investigate Bax Pot.

From here there’s some crawling (slightly wet but not too bad), a nice slot climb down with the water, bit of crawling to a choke climb and more easy stream passage to emerge in the very spacious Goyden streamway.

We followed the fine fig-8 route described on the Braemoor website, Alex loved the knotted rope climb down – some nice passages in this part of Goyden.

Pleasant crawling with occasional stooping and walking along New Stream Passage, passed through Mud Hall, climbed up then along a short traverse,

overlooked the main stream, had some fun with a short climb up (awkward little bugger), then onwards before (nearly) emerging from Goyden Main Entrance, back in along the main passage to climb up and head out via Church Pot! Less than three hours and we weren’t really rushing. Enjoyable outing (I particularly liked the “Eternal Optimist” connection) and one I’d do again..
