Gaping Gill Main shaft

Had an awesome trip on Saturday - first time I have used the main shaft, and it is very impressive. Apart from being unnerved slightly by the large numbers of tourists watching we slide around on the greasy icy slab at the top, it is a great descent, and you get a very impressive view of the main chamber with a 10watt bulb!

Slightly disturbed by the dead sheep that appeared at the bottom of the main chamber after we got down but before the return party went up.

I was on the same trip as Brendan and thought it was awesome :)
Particularly the bottom 30 metres where you are in the waterfall! I went with an empty tacklebag and by the time i got to the bottom it was half full of water as it could not drain fast enough.
Awesome trip!
RIP Bob the sheep....
