Last year, Jane, Mark, Kirsty, Charlotte and Siobhan headed to a classic peak District cave for a classic tourist trip: Eyam Dale via Ladder to the sumps (via Dynamite Series) and back out of the Gin entrance.
Some of my most memorable moments:
‘Getting everyone through even the bits they weren’t sure about
Me saying the wrong things, repeatedly
²Kirsty’s enthusiasm for pushing gnarly bits of Dynamite series on her second ever caving trip
Charlotte absolutely sending the climb up from the sumps
©Mark carrying the bag for a long long time
£Siobhan for telling Mark to throw mud at my face, and Mark doing it
Jane for overcoming her fears and climbing down the ladder
Kirsty asking if I knew the history of the rope in the leaves at the top of the pitch, and me replying “yes, I put it there 20 mins ago”
Can’t wait to be able to regroup and do more trips like this!
