Quite an efficient trip (for a change!). Already two groups of three down the cave when we got there and so sat about on surface in the gorge which had become a wind tunnel. Had a quick look at Goblin Route and saw shed loads of water going down it.

Three blokes from Red Rose came out quite soon and Ollie rigged the entrance. We met the other group of three (some rope-access group on a day out) coming up the second pitch and the last bloke waited at the bottom so Ollie could rig and get down. They derigged and we hacked on down.

The bottom of Goblin had an impressive amount of water! We wandered to the wet crawly bit at the end of the main chamber and Simon and Mary went for a short nose about in it, then we headed back out and I derigged.

Off to Bodrum's for pizza and back in York for about 8 pm!
