Hi all.

Something a little more sporting to sink our wellies into this week. OHA is fairly dry at the mo but expect a few crawls through water and a few vertical rope assisted scrambles.... And of course, lots of mud :).

Trip: Ogof Hesp Alyn (OHA)

Trip Type: General Mooch up to the canals/first pitch.

Meet Time: 6.30pm

Meet Place: Cilcain Bridge.

It was good to see different parts of the cave last night and a couple of the back passages but I ache today.
Had a good laugh at the Glan with Mick and a few others, so funny!

Topic hijacking I know but does anyone know if the siphon has been sorted?

i would hazard a guess at 'not'.

Generally assume it hasn't. Plan a trip to nip down to start it 2/3 days before the main trip. i.e. thursday night to start the siphon for a trip sat/sun. On the rare occassion its already empty (it did happen once to me and mike) then thats just a bonus!

Beware if you are thinking of going through at this time of year the very very real flood risk (not that i need to remind you!).

No, I was only asking in case someone had made an effort to restart that siphon - it's going to need some special effort that
