180 miles  :ohmy:

who decided to stick yorkshire so far away!?

[Tom Howard]

You chose to live in Mordor. It's not as far for the rest of us ;-) only an hour and a bit for us :-)

boxheadpot to lost johns is a good change over trip and within 2 minutes from the parked cars,Tim has never done
lost johns and thats a classic if  you happen to do this one give me a shout and i will come up and join you all on the day.

i'm easy - micks suggestion sounds good for one day or the other

and toms cow pot to county for the other ?

I haven't a fookin scooby about leading either though - but i don't mind doing rigging / de-rigging as required. lol

hi - appologies for the delay - but been busy

hear is how the trip planning stands :

we have accommodation booked @ bullpot farm , casterton fell - 10 people  for 2 nights - Friday / Saturday - a great caving hut - but thee closest pub = 3 miles away - so prob best to bring beer

we have a permit for Lancaster hole - Saturday 12th - which opens up virtually the entire easegill system to us - the best choices are through trips to wretched rabbit - an arduous trip or county pot easier - but needs some pre-rigging ]- the problem is navigation - at the moment it seems that only tom is fit to lead any trip beyond a simple wander - though I am working on hiring a " guest navigator "

for sunday - I had planned a kingsdale throught trip either swinsto or simpson -for the simple reason - they are epic multi pitch abseils - BUT exiting is only a 5m prussic up one pitch then a easy walk out .

but other ideas are welcome - if others are agreeable I can request a boxhead / LJ permit for smurf

and there are hundreds of other permit free options and we can try for other permits for sunday

I say that unless we are applying for permits - leave the exact sunday plan till sat night - so we know the weather - cos if the weather is fine - the problem is getting everyone to agree to a trip that suits their expectations and abilities NOT a limited choice of caves

that's it so far - any questions I have not addressed or ideas - sound off

[Iestyn Rhys Pritchard]

Sounds awesome

Hi

I am tempted by this, I am to late to join? but again like Vicky I don't want to hold anyone back and I would need at least one SRT practice session before we went as I haven't done any in ages.

John.

According to Murf last night I'm going  :unsure:
