Filthy five - giants hole

[TheOriginalPiglet]

I don't mind putting new anchors on behalf of DCA (once approved during a committee meeting)...
I wanted to visit FF to inspect the sump from the other side...
After speaking to SamT there's someone else who wishes to sort the sump out? We've got another three people who are also keen to get stuck in and help!

Awakening an old thread here but did you end up putting in some new anchors in? I have talked to Ollie about having another look at the syphon and was going to try and have a gander at the Filthy Five side next week?

 

[SamT]

Still here, still keen for any trips heading in there.

The issue was getting three people's calendar's aligned to make a recce trip happen.
When would you propose next week?;

Is the blue pipe sat in Basecamp Chamber anything to do with this project? Been there a while now and I'm thinking of taking it out on my next visit if it is not on it's way somewhere.

Haven't been in Giant's for a few months but is this the one that was stationed close to the top of the pull-through pitch in the Giants Upper Round? If there is a blue pipe missing from there then it will be the one used to siphon the connection between the top of Giants Upper Crabwalk and above the Organ Pipes. A collector's piece trip for sure, but the pipe siphon made it more pleasant.

 

[SamT]

Let me know, Monday would suit me better.

Ah, that's where I have seen a blue pipe before! This looks like it has been in a cave for a while, it is clearly not new. I suspect it could be that pipe. Still doesn't explain why it made it to Basecamp Chamber. Hopefully someone will be along to shed some light on things, but I might still move it to the DCA container in a couple of weeks if it doesn't get claimed.

I can do monday, would probably just be me though. Also, our club has run into some issues with the Students Union so I no longer have access to any tackle to rig the pitches…

I was in with a group today Pete and pulled it out, it's been there a while and didn't belong in the chamber. I can drop it at the Chapel this week some time when the parking isn't manic or leave it by the DCA container.

Cheers Alan. See if anyone needs it for a project at the TSG, otherwise it can be dropped at the container at Bamford garden centre. PM me if you need to know the exact location.

Sorry to be flakey, my mum has had a minor heart attack and been in hospital all weekend so going to busy tomorrow eve at the hospital. Might be best off next week when hopefully things have settled down.

That's not flakey Sam - hope it all does settle down for her.

 

[SamT]

Thanks Phil.. hope you're well. Good to catch up sometime.
