Title: 3 Counties System
Post by: Les Williams on Nov 06, 2011, 11:48 PM
The 3 Counties System finally became a reality today when Lost Johns and Notts 2 were finally connected. Britains first 100km+ cave system. Awesome...

I remember when we met someone down lost Johns last year who was off down to the bottom of the system to dig on his own. Wonder if he was one of the ones who were digging on a long term basis

Good stuff :)

I don't think so .... he said he had found an area which he thought no one else knew about. I think he was on his own little mission ;)
