Notes

My first SRT trip and it was a big one in terms of pitch size. I had been practicing at the Ingleton wall a couple of days earlier.

Duncan I think writes: After some breakfast in Ingleton and purchasing of SRT kit for Alex we headed to Bull Pot Farm, which was quiet again. A warm trudge in the sun (yes, it was actually sunny!!) led us to the entrance and once down we headed for Montagu West and the Bull Pot sump, from here we backtracked slightly to the pleasantness of Waterfall Passage. At the pitch-cum-climb we rigged a pull-thru and descended the well watered drop and on-wards to the Main Stream, the foam levels (well, the ones we could see) were many metres above our heads, about 10m or so.. From here we climbed up the boulder heap of Fall Pot and made our way out.
