Lockdown looming and the last Bagshawe trip

Lockdown was looming and the last Bagshawe Giggletrip was last year.



Barbara, Leanne and Emily joined me and Alison for their first caving trip: to Bagshawe Cavern.



Memorable moments:
ΫLooking at the desiccated coconut shavings on the roof
˜®Discovering the first gate, and the second gate
Œ‘Turning the lights off and seeing the dark
Œ¿Leanne leading the way through part of the cave
˜‰Emily exploring a dead end for us
’ªBarbara pushing herself to follow the others up the snakes pyjamas
‘˜ºAlison leading the way through a memorable squeezy crawl
˜²Barbara surprising everyone by taking the tighter route back to Blackpool sands
©Alison’s sponge cake surprise



Can’t wait for more moments like this in person.



Route: Entrance -> Calypso’s Cave -> Dungeon -> Peter’s Pool -> Blackpool Sands -> Cave of worms -> Hippodrome -> Duck before streamway -> Hippodrome Glory Hole -> Duck in Gloryhole -> Hippodrome -> Snakes Pyjamas -> Blackpool sands -> Exit.



It’d rained recently so we were prevented from visiting the main streamway and venturing past the Glory Hole duck
