The rebelay on the bottom pitch of Arson Shaft was getting very tight, so the top section of rope has been replaced (11 mm). Some spare was left at the Y-hang, in case it happens again.
We seem to be unlucky at the moment. On the last four trips we have found abandoned ropes dominating the bolts, which is a right pain. Goblin Route had been left half-rigged by a party; someone had left a rope on the Turbary Pot pull-through bolts; and an 8 mm rope was hanging down the Lancaster Hole entrance shaft (it had been there for over a week, apparently). The exception was Long Drop - which is just as well, as I wouldn't fancy having to negotiate two ropes at the top of those pitches...
