The trip was cut a bit short cos we couldn't find it, but we did get a nice two hour tour of the local hills. Once there, it became obvious that it was going to be wet! Tatham Wife gave me my first test of a pitch where getting to the pitch edge meant wedging myself over a rather large drop (with cowstails in of course)... terrifying, and thank you to Beth for encouraging me onwards. However, the following pitch over a waterfall via a deviation got us all soaking wet, and we didn't get much further, cos everyone was cold and it was getting late in the day. Would like to return with balaclava/gloves to keep warm, and see what we missed, because from what I saw was a very good cave.
