Gaping Gill winch meet

[graham]

But how long is a piece of string? 

Is it wet or dry?  :-\

This is getting well off topic now. Benfool, I can't remember which model we bought, even though I ordered them and paid the bill! Pitlamp, aye, these solo French cavers knew a thing or two. That's why, amongst other projects, I'm encouraging a full translation of his Irlande et Cavernes Anglais. Hope it comes off, fully.

Andway I'd best leave this thread, now, as I won't be at GG for the Bank Holiday w/e. Have fun if you are.

In brief (as maybe it is off topic) - great news re Martel's book. I'll send you a PM with some information which may be of interest.

Ah, Martel
I've often thought Clapham should have a statue of Martel. The Alps are lettered with statues of British climbers, often s with Whymper in the Ecrins with very generous appreciations.

Back on topic....
Gaping Gill has superb mud (though quite why so much was accumulated on Dihedral...)

Or, if that's not to your taste and you visit the Far Country...how to return

     

             

                   

                            Simple...

I almost didn't recognise Sarah....That would be a good shot for my 'cover collage'

We offer advice on the best places to find high quality mud...

Although the winch will run on Bank Holiday Monday morning, we aim to have the main chamber clear by noon, so if you want a trip that day then come EARLY. No one using the winch can leave the main chamber, and other entrances will be de-tackled.

So, don't be disappointed.

Despite a heroic effort to lose a whole tractor in a grip, all is now set up and the rain has been banished...

Was glad this wasn't put to music as loved the sounds of oversuits against the walls of Bar Pot entrance pitch and the water in main chamber, thanks for posting

No worries ive done a few videos with crap music but much prefer this style (sometimes put music over as my voice does my head in)
