After many discussions about digging and having a nosey at Storrs Common again we finally found a day to do it! A team of 5 descended on the common and visited Lower Arch Cave – nothing has changed apart from the fact it is now home to a rabbit, I just hope it likes water :-\ We then progressed on to Long Gour Cave for a short but pleasant trip, the choke at the end was described by Alex as totally hopeless so the large passage regrettably remains lost. A few bits of rubbish were removed from the cave before we headed over to Skirwith Cave.

As ever it was a pleasant and easy stroll through this former show-cave, above the waterfall the choked inlet was looked at and the stream passage was followed to the sump by some before a retreat was finally made. A couple of photos later we emerged into a fine sunny afternoon and after a leisurely change we rounded the day off in a local watering hole!
