Nettle Pot Rigging

Survived to cave again another day!
Actually it wasn't half as bad as i'd feared and as I was "volunteered" to go down first and rig I didn't have time waiting around to think about it!
Only awkward bit was the single P-bolt rebelay and just below but even me (size XL - likes pies!) was OK...
Its an awesome bit of cave though - a Fantastic shaft...definately the best we've done in Derbyshire so far...can't believe that its only a couple of hundred yards from Oxlow & maskhill and yet so completely different in character.

That because its a competely natural - and the others are mined.  ;)

areed it is fantastic - did you do elizabeth shaft below too. All very yorkshire.

Some places to get a funny reputation that gets a bit overblown of the years. The narrows is one of them.

Tight bits are all relative. I say don't worry about them, just give them a go and if you fit you fit and if you don't at least you can say Help! I'm stuck.

Devonshire hall trip is excellent if you want to explore a bit more.

Is there an official survey of Nettle that's relatively recent and good?

Also, when was all the digging at the bottom of biza done and when?
