Post by: Tony Salusbury on Aug 11, 2014, 08:21 PM
This weeks trip is a follow up to last week's visit to OHA exploring the area we were in last week. This is an SRT trip but those not SRT trained can still explore the rest that OHA has to offer.

Meet Place: Cilcain Bridge

Meet Time: 6.30pm

I need to swap my shift in work so maybe a tad late, but I will be there coz I ain't missing out ;).

more shortish ropes needed - i've got a 30m 9mm i'll bring which should do the next pitch

who knows what we'll need after that - my next lightest is a 50mm 9mm which i'll also chuck in the landy.

just come off the phone to murph - regarding the ladder, i'm bringing a 4' wooden oak ladder (its got wires under the rungs too) with me.

also been speaking to cris this week regarding it - got a bit more info but his memory is hazy - but definitely the thinking it theres ground and options to push.

can't wait.

mike, are you bringing those wires/slings again. That rebelay wants a new wire/rope/sling - i was just mega lazy (and didn't have the bag initially).

I collected my caving gear last night following Matienzo, I didn't quite have time to sort anything out. So in advance, id like to sincerely apologise for any smell it may omit tonight.

By the time I get home I won't have time to check it ;-) could be interesting...
