County pot via County pot and Wretched rabbit

Sam led this trip as he wanted to take us an esoteric route. We dropped down County and left our ropes attached to the bottom to pull up later, well most of us did!

We then headed the usual route you normally take to battle of Britain, but continued downstream past the spout hall and onwards to the start of Sam's esoteric route (I think was called dismal bypass) to a passage near platypus by several high level small passages passing a group coming the other way as we did, we headed downstream to Eureka, before following the main stream along until we reached the junction with Spiral staircase, where we had lunch.

It's been a while since I had been down Spiral so glad Sam was leading as I would probbably had missed the first climb up, though it's probbably because I don't normally climb up there. We then went up the rocks before eventually emerging in the said Spiral staircase. At this point we were met by Swaledale and the illustrious Chris Sharman, a man of many words lol.

We emerged to a very sunny day. But we had to go back underground to collect the SRT kits. Me and Sam entered count and moved all 5 of the SRT kits. Only Sam noticed it was actually 4 and a half as Marcus had forgot to attach his to the rope forcing Sam to re-rig it and go back down to get it.

Another good trip, although shorter it made for a good Sunday trip.
