Swildon's Sump 4

Had a good trip down to Swildons Sump 4 on easter sunday as i knew it would be busy and someone would have bailed the Mud sump, which they had :D . (saves me doing it).
Blue Pencil was great as always, tight and nasty - just the way i like it :shock:
Sump 4 looked disgusting with cow sh*t everywhere, and it was dripping down from Priddy green sink.
We also had a walk upto the far side of Sump 3 which always looks inviting and i can't wait until i get my bottles & regs, so i can go through
(don't fancy holding my breath).
Came out through the Troubles / Landing then Sump 1, and we only met 1 other group - which was nice.
But the bad thing was that i managed to trap a nerve in my big toe - now that is pain, and hacking it off was a viable option at one point :(

Full trip took about 2.5 hours.

Yep, Paul, they were 3 & 2 respectively.

The vis there was similar to gravy when I had a go many moons back.
