Notes

Well not much to say about the trip, other than the novices seemed to enjoyed it and I was rather impressed with their caving prowess having not done hardly any caving before.

We laddered County and followed the usual route towards Gypsum caverns. White Line passage has had all the tat removed so we lifelined and lowered people down the pitch, a few of us free climbed it. The climb beyond that had no tat on it either. I can’t describe the exact route from there, as Ease Gill still confuses me. I know we were a bit lost at one point expecting a sump/duck, but there was none so we missed the bypass and Mike crawled on through. Me and Rick back tracked and spotted the bypass for the novices as the other way on was very flat out.

There was some fun going up the slimy climb leading to Easter Grotto a little bit of video footage on my camera was taken of that. Returned via a short round trip and exited via Wretched Rabbit passage. I was sent to grab the ladder and exited the County entrance just as the others began to walk past.
