Giants round trip

[r_walklate@hotmail.com]

I have read so much stuff on this, have  been down Garlands and even to the eating house, is the round trip navigation simple enough? Can anyone give me any top tips so i don't get lost!!!!

Cheers

Naviagation is fairly straight forward, but there is a few places where you can go wrong. You need to know where the entrance to the upper series is, at the eating house, and there are a few turning in the upper series you need to make. There is a good description here that might help

I think the Giants round trip is one of the best shortish trips to be had.
Has everything bar a large..ish pitch.
Took my wife on her first caving trip as far as Garlands last week and was whistfully wishing we could go farther....Not done it for 12 months so I think a return visit is on the cards

You can always extend the round trip to go to the sump and back, if you want the pitch.

It must be 20 years since I last went to East Canal in Giants.Realy must make an effort this Winter...Mind you I want to try and get trip into Titan in the next few months.

Glad I could help!

Yup, a trip down to the East Canal is a fine trip and Geology Pot is a nice pitch!
