Great stuff ali, added to the list :-)

ok - a couple of points

any one wishing to go down on the winch will face a long wait - i realise that arriving on the fell at ` opening time ` - is nigh impossible if you are driving up from wildest wales - but the wiinching rate is 15 ~20 / hour - and queues do form - 1 hour wait is not atypical

which obviously makes attempting to meet others underground a bit problematic

booking a chit to come back out only takes 1 ~ 5 minuites - whatever the queues

dylan - we can create the GG triathalon for ya - cycle up - have a swim in pool passage - or far waters - and run back down to clapham - far more fun

mike - no idea on routes - like dan says - see who actually makes it up the fell and what they fancy - and plan on the fly - we leave call-outs with the bradford and everything is rigged - so it makes no difference

one final thought though - is anyone up for a weekend ? - there are cave huts [ YSS at helwith ] , bunkhouses [ clapham ] or campsites

rock up - and do a trip saturday - stay over - and you are on site for a good start sunday ?

Done.. :-)

looks like a good turnout for this, dont worry about the queues for the winch, you dont have to "stand in a line" you have a number and they put a sign asking for number x to number y to go to the winch, so you are free to sit on the grass or take pictures or what ever untill you are asked to queue.

LOL..

only for the peep's who dont SRT.

that said, i'm tempted to use it to exit, lazy caving is the future.

Tim Watts

i'm tempted coz it means i'm more likely to take more camera kit ;-) or failing that, i'll let someone else take my camera kit back up the winch for me ;-)
