This is the turning immediately after the main quarry entrance. It doesn’t look quite the same now, there is a high wire fence in situ but the lane is obviously still there.
Notes : Trip #1 (non-SRT) has an entrance shaft of, around, 60 feet with a fixed ladder. Some of the passages are small and squeezy. There is a short, rope assisted free climb and also an awkward slot down to the main passage. If you know where to look you can find pre-historic crinoids and, in the opposite part of the mine, a nice band of dog’s tooth crystal.
We could really do with a “leader†for this trip please.
This trip is suitable for novices with some experience, not suitable for debut cavers.
If you do fancy coming, please could you let us know by replying to this thread. No worries if you don’t know.
Thanks !
See you soon…..

Yes to Thorntree. Please can I borrow an set of SRT kit for this as I haven't ordered a set yet
I'm not actually sure if the club stores have full SRT kits to borrow out, the SRT training course have kits but they are separate to club kit, maybe someone can correct me but if I'm right, you may have to do Pearl
