Caitlin wrote...

Unfortunately the original plan to get into the upper oxbow series didn\'t quite work. After getting to the traverses, and doing them, we missed the fact we had to climb down to get round the corner, leading to a rope ladder there for us to climb up to start the route planned. Not wanting to fall down the big hole, we thought we could just try get into the series in reverse, by going up the Skyhook pitch we... read more

I was nice and dry until the buggers picked me up and chucked me in the deep water at the end!

Kevin wrote...

Damn you all for being too efficient with the cake ;)

Alexander wrote...

Good, generally a nice cave with an interesting cake formation near the sump at the end (beats the wedding cake in OFD2), although this formation suffered some wear and tear which we were in there and may no longer be visible. There was also an unusual champagne waterfall which seems to be seasonal or something, it didn\'t flow for long while we were there. That sump was also cold man, no way was I getting in there sans wetsuit.

Caitlin wrote...

Think I was thrown into the sump more times than ideal ;)
