OK : the " little details "

cash needed - £5 / night [ hut fee ] PLUSS we will collectively need a few pound coins - to operate the drying room

bullpot farm is REMOTE - its at the end of a 3 mile track - so " forgetting " essential stuff will be an embugerance

bring your own beer - as going to the pub is a PITA

food - the kitchen has everything you need except food ample sized fridge - but no freezer

sleeping - is alpine bunks - so just lightweight sleeping bag and pillow if needed

I will have all the rigging gear for planned trips -

any questions ??

arrival time ???????????????????

timbo and hooligans - at 17:00 ??????????? that's early - and there is fook all to do on casteryon fell that doesn't involve caves or sheep

would people be interested in a quickie down bullpot of the witches ???? it is a simple cave - just a 2min wallk from the farm -

and has some interesting features - its quite photogenic - with a large open enterance and descending streamway

his is a caving weekend - so it would be rude not to

Sounds good to me.

Tim, I'm not 100% sure if where you live. I can get to cilcain bridge ok, am I right in thinking you're just up the hill from there?
oh, what fresh hell is this?

looks for the white landy! (not the green one i had when google maps made there drive by!

also the frontage of the house has changed now - its a red retaining wall at the front with laurel hedge.

Andy - can just play it by ear - will probably drive to the pub get grub and drive back and then have beers.

Will we be going to the pub first on Saturday night to eat first or do we need to bring food for an evening meal?

Does the cave on Saturday have a snack bar at the bottom for lunch or do I have to bring that as well  ;)

Fantastic weekend. Awesome caving as per the norm in Yorkshire. Will hopefully start putting together video and photo's during the week.

Would have like to have done more caving but trying to get Andy out of bed was nigh on impossible ;)
