Well, long churn three weeks on the trot! I'm beginning to know it well. Its been getting steadily wetter too, so we can't go next week as it sould be completely submerged!
<br>
<br>A bit of a chilly change, but not actually raining, and a long walk up the hill. Only two people fell down Dr. Banisters this time, despite John putting knots in the handline. Those who took the sporting decent option where well fielded by Laz and John though, and the group continued onwards. Had to bypass the waterfall climb, as there was an unbelievable amount of water going down it.
<br>
<br>Leaving the cave through the streamway prooved sporting, as only about 4 inches of air was obtainable, and several people opted for the drink their way out of the cave option!
