So this was to be my first trip into the OFDII streamway from the confluence up to the fault aven series. A brilliant trip for those who haven't done it!!

Fafftastic. This was approximately plan D after multiple previous plans were abandoned due to weather forecast or lack of trip leaders elsewhere. After directing the other group to Sell Gill, we were finally on our way. For some reason, Tatty Wife is a cave I'd never to before. I’d probably always been put off by the long walk. There was a lot more to it than I was expecting and it turned out to be a rather fun and varied trip,... read more

Preamble: I seem to be quite enjoying caving at the moment and have peculiarly high levels of enthusiasm for it, reminiscent of my youth. Consequently Toby and I conspired to arrange an extra-curricular weekend meet and put the call out for other participants.

My immediate response was the Buttertubs, on account of its... read more

We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.

Luckily, he decided to stay behind on this particular trip, which... read more
