Title: Thursday Night Trip - 17th April 2014
Post by: Tony Salusbury on Apr 14, 2014, 09:18 PM
Hi All,

After the epic trips to Yorkshire last weekend, we will be taking in something a little more pedestrian this week to help ease our aches and pains.

This Thursday night we will be popping to Poacher's Cave as we may have a few new faces coming along.

Meet Time: 6.30pm at Cilcain Bridge.

Suggested Equipment
Electron Ladder

There is some water in the crawl passages so expect to get your hands and knees a little wet and muddy.

For more info on Poacher's Cave visit - Knowledge Bank - Poacher's Cave (http://www.ucet.org.uk/index.php/forum/21-knowledge-bank/896-ogof-hen-ffynnonau-poachers-cave)

Bella and I can come on Thursday (- if we are invited?)
I will bring Electron.
I would like to see the collapse in lower series.

Technically we cannot "invite" you because you don't have insurance and if there is an incident there will be a problem.

You are welcome to "arrive" and come along on the trip .....

I "think" that distinction works  ;)

Any chance of rigging the drop into the lower series so I can do a bit of SRT practice?

Yes, I would like to try the pot hole descent with a rope.
How long a rope does it need?

I will be going to the White Horse in Cilcain afterwards.
Other people are invited to join me there - but no accidents mind!

Oh ha ha :P We did vote at the AGM remember to visit a pub close to the place of the trip. So such info is of course useful to know- especially for anyone not out caving.

very short single pitch - there are some recently fitted 'new' bolts for traverse to head of the pitch - but of course we've been walking over the bridge for years without incident! Theres a y hang from above. Only think i would say is that its very very loose underfoot during the ab so please ensure that people are kept well clear below.
