Winnats Head 11th Feb
« on: January 28, 2010, 09:34:12 am »
I will be down Winnats Head on Thursday 11th, meeting at 7:00pm.

The object is to put anchors in for the dive line and go for a bit of a swim.
Jams has offered his small drill and Sam will also bring his along; we will pick on the night which to use.

Some nice people at a dive shop have donated a nice Halcyon Life Raft so we need publicity shots; Rob has agreed to take these.

Anyone else coming, Dan, Sam P, John P?

Right then

All set for Thursday.

Will meet at the Farm at about 7pm although I may be a little early.
Sam has said that the farmer has some stock in his yard at present so we may have to park on the road further up the hill.

Apologies for a non-member posting in the EPC club forum.. Planning a trip to Winnats pretty soon and noticed the thread about the cave; had to have a look - great photo of Fox Chamber, confirmed my decision of wanting to visit  :thumbsup:

no worries dunc

Without causing offence to Rob, (cause his pics are great  :bow:)  but I don't think that photo quite does it justice.
Enjoy

For those interested, Dan has been climbing about in Fox Chamber. Some stuff found, which i'm sure he will report himself...

Thought i'd help out, and potentialy get that better shot. Hope i'm someway there....:



For the full on photo diary:
Dan traversing along the roof, dodging the stal with upmost care, to reach the main aven


The view down at this point...!


Dan contemplating his situation...


Climbing up the last bit of the aven before it close down too much...
