I thought Mister Rodent could go in by Devils Elbow, have a wallow in the U.B.S.S. wet dig up Bat Passage, then crawl out via The OOOOOZE!
that would test his rodent crdentials!

Whitelackington, when are you doing Sotanos de las Golondrinas then? - that'll test your SRT credentials, surely. But then again you've got a reputation for telling other people what to do IIRC.

oooo. well a very easy transfer of money and key at the wessex cave club, nice little setup with the SRT scafold (or does that keep the building up hehe) no Its very impressive and and sign at the front of the driveway is very posh.

Headed on down to GB parking area, advised to park in the farm and I dropped some ye golden nuggets in the letter box when nobody answered. Using the description from the chap in the club and my last memorys we managed to find the door, the locking system had us confused for a while, just not seeing that the flap doesnt lock the door but simply access to the bolt, DOH. I be clever me :| Slitherened inside, easy, turned left for the sideways shuffle though the hole, down to the first climb, be wary I was but with encouragment from joker001 like "come on ya ba$t@rd" I made it down. Next climb down, more encouragment and I was down. Finally into the BIG effin big... I'm sure its bigger then last time! Wowey, as we decended down the streamway, oh my me its big, yes this is a big hole in the ground. Good stream going down, was virually dry last visit. Bigness all around, found the bridge, cool, further down, why cant my beam reach the end? type big. We got as far as the drop at the end, were it looks like rocks just about to flow over the edge of the waterfall. We had not planned on going down so had no rope, just watched our light beams fade in the distance then turned and headed back up. Poked around in a few side bits including a bit in devels elbow, but headed for the out really, the two climbups were easy. Not long before we poped out of the door, made sure it was locked and headed back to the car.

Next time we will have rope for the 12m decent past the waterfall.

I tried to return the key but nobody was in to take it, advised to return it to Hunters Lodge, nobody thare so I currently have WCC GB key 1. I shall try and pop it in soon. Its been a busy weekend with Box and Swildons Saterday.

Cheers everyone.

I dont know Star Shaft. My interest in SRT is to be a safe and trustworthy team member.

I'm sorry I still havent had time to return the GB key back to WCC yet.

Star Shaft is in Star, very near to Doug's,
it is a Cornish Shaft about 100 feet deep
I am sure you would enjoy it.
If you did it day time, it would be in daylight. :twisted:

No worries,
Brian Prewer has your deposit, if you return the key to him at his house then he will refund you, or Roger at the Hunters will buy it off you and sort it out with the Wessex after.

:D

I have finally returned the key back to the WCC building. So it wasnt me who broke the key in the lock ;)

Looks like some of my other pals want to visit GB in a couple of weeks time. No novices or carbide.
