Hi All,

we're considering a trip to Rod's pot and Bath Swallet this weekend.  Has anyone been in there recently?  I'm not local so don't know how wet it has been recently and whether the connection will be passable.

Also does anyone know if there is any in situ gear on Purple pot?

thanks for your help

Unless it's really wet, you don't need to worry about water levels. It's very reactivate so drops very quickly after wet weather.

There should be a rope on purple pot, though some recent work at the top to clear loose stuff has made it a bit more of a challenging free climb. A hand jammer might be a good idea.

How are people going from Rod's Pot (entrance) to Bath Swallet (exit) expected to safety ascend to daylight?

Is caving safe?

I usually climb up on the left then step across at the top 

Or you can go in the other direction if you aren't a confident climber
