not sure 'best trip ever' is appropriate but was a fun little jolly. riducuolous amounts of water prevented more hardcore trips.The guide talks complete horseshit when it says abseil 9m to a rift going off to the right. the rift is 4m down if that.
After some preliminary faff and swingage to get to the start of the 'technical' route was straight forward rigging down to the scrotty bottom (beware dead sheep).
Another thing learnt is that cave rounders (played with rocks and metal tubing) is dangerous. goggles and open spaces recommended.
Fun little trip. main shaft is impressive, despite the bones at the bottom. :)
p.s. andy forgot his undersuit! ;)
