Superb trip! Just goes to show what a little forward planning can do! We managed to get all 10 tackle sacks packed the night before so managed to get away at a decent time. Team one (my team) doing the centre route set off half an hour early as we were rigging the common entrance, all the way to the common bottom. We met the second team on our way out of the bottom section then exited out of Adamsons... read more

All Hail Gary the god of organisation. Everything went well for a great trip easy trip up to the cave and asside from gary parking miles from where we did and forcing us to play on the large ammounts of ice which festoond the roadside for a bit we got changed in brilliant sunshine (warmest change yet). Found the cave with only a little searching and found it allready rigged and rearing to go. Decended and split... read more

Rigging Adamsons was a tad amusing, ran out of rope before I reached the top of the first climb. Then comes the 'amusing' ladder, three parts each about a metre long, held together by string (well, ok 5mm cord). How glad was I when I clipped into a bolt at the top of that. The rest was not bad, didn't like the look of the duck the group doing the BT route would have done.

we actually found the cave for once without 2 hours of wandering around in circles. it was a fun cave if a little short. would have been more hardcore if we had taken enough rope to do traverse at the end, but generally a fun trip

Enjoyable trip, but a lot shorter than the rigging guide makes it look! Everything went well up until the last traverse/pitch where either i didn't rigg it from the right place or the rope was shoter than it said cos it didn't reach the bottom! Never mind though, we could see it, close enough. We did go off down to the static sump instead though, so it wasn't all bad.

Once again the cavers of York graced the most wonderful place that is mud hall - a paradise of beauty and harmony in the middle of lots of rock. Slightly (ok very) upset that my Octopus had vanished but I made a landrover instead. It does look more like a splodge but a lot of love went into it all the same.
Dom's "rock of gibralter" (doorstop) survived the test of time though, obviously cavers appreciate his "art".
Nikki made an... read more
