A cast a thousands at Masongill, mostly from the Craven, we got underground before them and rather surprisingly hardly saw any of them once underground. Being a skinny bugger Alex had been asked by Dave Ramsay to investigate a tight passage, so we found ourselves in a clean, spacious dig(!) with Alex unable to move very far.

Beaten by a too small passage we retreated and started heading out, inserting Alex into some obscure side passage on the way. After a bit more noseying around some of us headed up the rope and along the traverse high above Rope and Well pitches. Easy going back to Bubbles, where Alex found a way of avoiding the bottom part of the pitch. Planned on having a drink in the Marton but it was shut so went to the Heifer instead
