Caving this weekend

[reforma]

Hi all was hoping for some advice from the wise men and women on here. Caving on mendip this weekend and I can't decide what to do.
My options / thoughts are.
1. Waterwheel. Has any club got a key or is it only the activity centre and what are the chances of getting hold of the key over the weekend.
2. Long wood. What is the current water conditions  down there?
3. Honeymead. Is it still key from the farm? What's the trip like? Bad air?
4. Little crapnel. Fun? Or unpleasant? Or both?

Any other suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks. Usefull information may well win beer in the hunters.

Honeymead / Little crapnell are well worth a visit.  Both harder work than you'd expect for the size of the caves.  I'd avoid them until the winter though as they suffer from CO2.  Have done several very pleasant trips between Jan and May in the last few years, however found plenty of CO2 in Honeymeads last October after what I thought was enough rain!

As far as I know the only Waterwheel key is held at the Charterhouse center.  Can be quite difficult to find anyone there.
