Absolutely brilliant trip, and quite an adventure with all the narrow crawls, the climbs and fascinating chambers which are a lot different to the slate mines. Well worth the crawl on all fours thru the pipe and wading the water. If I go again I will definitely bring kneepads as my knees are still sore.
I told my daughter last week I was going on an 'Inigo Jones' adventure trip on Sunday. When I got home yesterday she had bought me a pair of Inigo Jones socks for father's day.
Many thanks Simon for aranging the trip.

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip too, quite a rabbit warren down there!
Glad someone missed Brian and me before you all went off leaving us locked in though 😮
Thanks to Simon and to the guys from GOES for a great day.

Really enjoyable trip. Certainly very different to anything I've been in before. Haven't done so much crawling since I forgot SWMBO's birthday ::)
Can't work out what was going on with the Italian/German/Munter hitch 😢 ...definitely the right knot and tied right (have been tieing them all day yesterday). Can only think it was the way it was fed into the Krab...have abbed many times on one before, but alls well that ends well. I blame the Devil Heads :devil:
Many thanks to Simon for organising it :flowers: and thanks to GOES for the tour, certainly an interesting set-up they have got there :thumbsup:

May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the crotch of the person who
screws up your day and may their arms be too short to scratch.

Just looked at the photo's as well. They look great.
Did the camera come back to life Simon? The pics look really good especially considering the problems with the camera. :thumbup:
