Bath Swallet and Rods Pot connected

[whitelackington]

Pete, it's "BCA" these days, not "NCA". 

Perhaps if the trip proves popular a P-bolt will be suggested to CSCC as appropriate.

I think you first have to write to Les Williams with your suggestion Graham

Did you leave a ladder rigged? Or was somebody else going through today?

 

[ian.p]

we left a ladder and line riged and did the through trip today so it was probably mine i noticed you removed the acro prop thanks for that it was puting a bend in the ladder and i couldnt get it to go over the other side
we noticed your car was parked at the top one of the windows was open BTW judi closed it. started worying about wether my riging was going to come under scruitiny i realise it was riged a bit low but that was partly cos it was dynamic...
tis a nice through trip lots of gloopy mud good on the digers for geting through it

Will we see Rods pot, Bath swallet And goatchurch connected?

Not easily, I think, no. The link between Rod's, Bath (and Drunkards and Bos) has been predicted for some time as they are all effectively sinks for the same stream. Goatchurch is a different place - though it is probably linked to other Burrington caves.

Love your new avatar, Graham.

Good innit. The wife found it on another forum.

 

[cap n chris]

Presumably a professional legal forum, judging by its erudite nature.

 

[graham]

A wealth of information thanks graham

After reading all that its is quite possible that all the caves in burrington link up with another at some point?

The question is where?

 

[cap n chris]

At the connection point, silly!

 

[graham]

Which will found to be underground.

 

[Downer]

Which will found to be underground.

Naturally, as there's been a connection above ground for quite a while.

Quite correct matey.
I haven't done Rods for many a year but have previously been in Bath (since it got a lot bigger) several times, our cunning plan was to ladder Bath, go deep into the diggings & hopefully find the connection, see if we could free climb the shaft, if not, exit Bath, go into Rods & hopefully (wasn't too hopeful) find way into Bath then double a rope 7 pull through
but some lovely person, you, had very helpfully left a ladder for us, cheeeers
