New Goyden. Manchester hole, Goyden

We first went down New Goyden, where I rigged the SRT route for practice for me as I had not rigged in a while and for Byron who is generally scared of rope. But thankfully he happily absailed. We then gawked at the large river passage, before going into the Planetarium meeting the BSD at their dig there, hopefully making a flood escape route. We then header out, but Byron had a poor up setup, with only space for a foot and very short prussicing rope, so I took him out Gusset. We then wandered over to Manchester hole, more big passage to gork at. I did find what I think is the connection (a sqeeze and crawl over calcite on the left) but found it very wet at the bottom, it needed neo-prene/sumped. We then went down Goyden down the sump before I led the way through the maze, up the ladder and then up cap left tunnel which thankfully was not blocked by wood at the end.
