Notes

First official ODL trip, which was led by yours truly. Original plan was to go down BPOTW but with the weather limiting possibilities and casts of thousands down there we choose County as an alternative. As there was only one true "novice" on the trip, I opted for something a bit harder and went down County using a ladder and lifeline, before heading along the high level route (the only way I am 100% sure of and don't need SRT) to get to Snail cavern and onward's to Minerets. Mark was finding some of the awkward crawling a bit difficult and appreciated the talking throughout these sections, but although tired he really enjoyed the trip and was glad ODL was doing something "truly adventurous".
