Notes : This cave is the “Big Brother” to Poacher’s Cave. Entrance is by way of a 20 foot electron ladder then you can expect a conglomerate of crawling, goo, water, big boulder chambers, sand passages, climbing (free and assisted) and a spattering of traditional cave passageways.



Suitable for novices with some experience.



You will get wet.

You better start early      

[mick murphy]

an you take a tape measure and get me a measurment were the pipe goes up and over the rock and down the shaft how thick is it and how long from the level of the sump if i can remove this the pipe will be at one level from the sump to the shaft and will be easier to drain and if the pipe is 6 inches below a float in the sump it will constantly  drain on its own once started,mick

Heal up soon mate

[Gareth Stonely]

Dave and i, possibly Sam and Tom H are meeting at 5.30 to have a go and getting to the sump. We won't be there to meet anyone at 6.30 or to show anyone around.
If there is no interest in a short oha trip or people to show others around, it might be worth cancelling this trip

[Paul Warrand]

Cheers Gaz got the fracture clinic this Friday

[Owen]

I'll be there  B) (if it's still going ahead)
@Gaz I've got membership docs to hand to you if you're about.

Please Note:

This trip may be cancelled at short notice due to no leader being available and the primary trip being a push to sump 1 by a small team.
