30th.
March 2012 - Kirk Pot
Protagonists: John Cordingley (diving), Adrian Hall
(Sherpa, divers assistant), Paul (Sherpa YSS), Ray Duffy (Sherpa)
Dave Ramsay and
Co. had straight lined surveyed on Thurs. Night and rigged the pitch (Thanks!)
so all we had to do was carry the gear. John had dug a new entrance avoiding
the low bedding so it was mainly hands and knees crawling o the pitch which is
proceeded by an awkward slot with hand line, quite useful. The pitch is split
at a ledge and beyond here a fine walking streamway ends in crawling over large
cobbles. John dived away from base for two hours and came back ESTATIC. Lots to
go at with large passage and big deep sump pools. It now has sumps 1a, b and c
where c has two going leads down deep an also a large aven heading o the fell.
A really good trip especially as the weather forecast was for no sign of RAIN.
