Made a non-pitch connection to Graveyard passage.

A day of indecision and lethargy! We finally plumped for a nosey around Lancaster Hole, taking in the Graveyard. Once down (only people down here, only one other group down County, quiet again) we reached Bridge Hall and decided to do the Girder Route back towards the entrance, just to see what it was like.
After a bit of ferreting we were faced with a climb up to rejoin the usual route (a little slippy but not too hard, at least it wasn’t after I’d moved my camera tub out of the way!!) – one small offbeat round trip completed.
Then it was off to the Graveyard for a nosey about, Dunc tried a spot of photography (batteries or flashes playing up a little, then they wasn’t – most strange) whilst Alex and Pete looked at the Bridge Hall connection. After a short while we were off to Stump Cavern, at a junction Alex disappeared right and entered the Stump Cavern Extension.
Dunc and Pete waited for his return and he gave tales of easy passage leading back to the Graveyard. So we followed, for a round trip, it was a muddy, slippy, crappy passage that finally debouched into a small stream passage, a short distance away, up a climb, was the Graveyard.
Headed out, Alex went down the connection whilst Dunc and Pete headed out. A while after Alex appeared having pushed the loose connection back to the Graveyard and went back up the pitch again for another round trip!
