There are really good shorter trips to do within this interesting system.
It can be slightly confusing where the various entrance routes converge near Hammerdale Dub. In all three routes, route finding is easier going downstream. Take note of the appearance of the passage when you come to a confluence.
You could explore each route downstream to Hammerdale Dub separately and they each make good trips that can be done in a couple of hours maybe on a nice summer evening midweek. Continuing on to Boireau Falls Chamber would only add about an hour to the trip.
If you wanted to do a round trip without having first explored the exit, the way out of Langcliffe Pot via Craven Crawl would be the easiest to find. You would have to rig the entrance pitch first and then go in Oddmire.
Another good circuit to do is in Oddmire then down The Roads and back out of Oddmire. But the way into Strid Passage would not be very easy to find if you didn't know it.
Both Strid Passage and Craven Crawl are wet and low in places but strolling down Langstrothdale Chase is a delight.
Enjoy.
