Notes

A very wet weekend meant this cave was perfect. We did the nearest caves first and I belayed everyone down the "pitch" on a ladder before absailing myself. We had met another group who borrowed my spanner for the lower entrance so they had opened it for us and left my spanner in the pipe. We completed that through trip and went to the end of the other Jug hole section with active streamway, which showed recent signs of flooding, with foam up the walls indicating about 20ft of passage was recently sumped off. We then returned and me and Jason had a quick look around the mine-works before heading out, catching up with the others as they got lost on the way back.
