Alum Pot SRT Training/Photography Trip

21/10/2018 Seeing as it was our SRT training weekend we thought we should probably get an SRT trip in there somewhere. We spent most of the week thinking our trip would have to be cancelled as the forecast showed it was meant to be chucking it down it down but fortunately on the morning it suddenly changed to glorious sunshine! After giving Ben and Laura (even though she decided not to cave in the end) a quick SRT refresher course we squeezed the 5 of us (me, Todd, Javi, Issam, and Ben) and all our kit into Bens car and headed for the cave. I always find churns really confusing (it just has too many entrances!) so I'm not quite sure where we entered (I think Todd said Diccan entrance) but when we did there was only about 15 minutes of squeezing, walking, and climbing before we reached the first pitch. As we walked out from the bottom of the pitch we got to a rather impressive view, called the window, into Alum Pot - an open shaft which had the previously mentioned glorious su...

Notts 2

By -
09/07/20, Caleb, Lisa and Todd After almost three months, which is, in my opinion, far too long to be stuck in the hell of the surface world, Lisa, Caleb and I decided it was tie to return to our spiritual home of the dark wet underground. Given circumstances, we decided Notts 2 would be the best bet, and decided to meet on a Wednesday. I arrived early, having dropped my dad off to go for a long walk, and headed up to Leck fell to wait for the other two. Eventually they arrived, and we quickly got changed, eager to go caving. I was the first down the entrance climb, followed by Caleb. I was like a child again, far too excited to be there. We wormed our way through the entrance series to the streamway, finding it slightly high, but nothing to worry about. We decided downstream was our best first bet, and headed on, stopping to say how glad we were that we had cancelled the trip a week earlier. The flood debris was quite high on the walls. We made our way down the short climb into the ...

Notts 2

08/09/2018 This was my first time doing Notts 2 and after putting off actually caving for as long as possible that morning by getting a second breakfast at Inglesport and stopping at the Co-op for snacks, the four of us (Todd, Tom, Alex, and I) finally made it to the cave entrance by about 1 o'clock. The entrance is probably one of my favourites - about a fifty metre climb down on scaffolding, wobbly ladders and breeze blocks until the streamway is reached. Once there we headed downstream at quite a rapid pace, had a quick look at the sump then turned back to head to the prettier, upstream parts of the cave. We made our way to curry inlet where we saw lots of pretties including some lovely white stalactites and curtains and some helictites at which Todd exclaimed 'they look like pubes!'. After we reached a muddy looking crawl we decided we were feeling lazy and didn't want to head further in that direction so we turned back to the main streamway and headed to inle...
