Thurs Trip 24/05/12

Hello All:

Trip: Grand Turk, Minera

Trip Type: General Mooch - PLEASE HELP IF YOU KNOW NY MORE??

Meet Point: The Moors Inn, Bwlchgwyn

Meet time: 18.45

Notes: There will a trip on a long electron & probably mud!!!!!!!

[Joel Colk]

After the electron climb, there is a immediate flat out crawl. It is tight, but not impossible. One through you will be met with stalactites and other pretties. Its a nice trip to be honest, quite a nice phreatic passage once in, eventually leading to a sump.

Gutted am a way . Back saturday will text Dave and tell him for you .. :-)

[Tim Watts]

missing another one - working :-( I doomed never to do the Grand Turk!

[Joel Colk]

I'm off work, but still got the fractured foot in tow

[Ali Wiseman]

[Tom Howard]

If there's anybody left from excuses.. I'm game? It's an excellent bit of passage

Just how tight and long a crawl is it ? eg how does it compare to the sand crawl?

[Ian A]

Tough call John .....

It's a flat out belly crawl (no chance for hands and knees).

Possibly 40-50 feet ....

My gut feeling is you will "probably" get through - I would give you a 75% chance or better.

.... Stupid caves making it difficult for people to explore :angry:

[Tim Watts]

you'll get through john - says me whos never seen it and won't be there! ;-)

Think of the photos you'll get ;-)

[Dylan Roberts]

I've been through and I didn't think it was to tight and I'm no slim jim It's just a long crawl

[Ian A]
