I suspect a visit to the 25 on that side of the valley might be an ambition, but only on the basis that we get a drought-like spell so we can abseil down to the 50 after without getting drowned.

Having heard the 25-50 abseil described as "the most unwise thing done underground", I'm happy to wait for a very dry spell!

Did anybody 'cross the valley'. I forget the level number, but the one that joins the two halves of the quarry under the valley floor.

Hmm let me guess who the other two were.

jcam ?
RJV ?

They both have little regard for their own personal safety (sorry I meant 'they have balls of steel' didn't I)

25. Where do you come out in relation to the daylight adit on 20? Looking at the plan it looks as if cuts under the pit?

my orders are to sit here and watch the world go by

that's the one- and having seen the waterfall from below i'm very glad we didn't. I suspect breathing would have been an issue whilest in the middle of that!

Lab rat, mountain penguin and skimble IIRC. A triumvirate of heroism. We wouldn't let 'em.

Gutted I wasn't able to join you all. PPP on my part, had to work Friday & part of Saturday and and failed to get an MOT on the car too. 😞

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.

Hmm, backup team... that might involve sitting in a chair taking in the sun whilst the advance team is down getting cold and wet.

Count me in for the backup team :thumbsup:

Simon is our back up with warm stuff for us - only coz he'll be sat in the sun and we can help him experience it through hugging him :lol: :lol: There are 6 of us then who sufficently intelligent enough to do it!

:lol: :lol: you'll be like an alien when you emerge from the waterfall! The umbrella will be wrapped around your head, the goggles will be around your chest creating man b***s, and the buff will give you a short skirt! Oh ya and the pointy bit on top of the umbrella will be the antenea - Maddness :lol: :lol: Predetor rising from the underworld. I guess you could apply for Star Trek 😉 :lol: :lol:
