Redhouse Lane Swallet Update

[Tritim230]

We are all awaiting anxiously but given the 27mm of rain yesterday and an extremely wet winter, we will be extremely lucky if we can get in before end of April.
Don't worry we'll let the forum know as and when.

Has digging in Yat Door continued after Ian's last video? Good gosh, literal cliffhangers!

As always, much gratitude to everyone who goes above and beyond to give us a armchair view of your digs and discoveries.

Digging has paused as we've lost the draught and the route down is digging through fault breccia. We suspect lower down is flooded. As soon as we can get to the end we'll redo the smoke and sound tests. Very frustrating....

Very frustrating....

Tell me about it. I'm having to actually go caving rather than just watch your videos.

 

[Tritim230]

We are back! Here is a taster from our favourite videographer for hopefully lots more discoveries to follow....

About time too! Pretty despicable really, to get so many people addicted like that then strangle the supply (with some excuse that the entrance was under water). So many people cold turkey waiting for videos. We can't wait any longer

Enjoyed the new video today. New passage so soon in the season! What are the Vibram knee pads? Appreciated the clothing breakdown!

That's great news! It'll be good to have a proper interesting series back after having to watch The Pitt, Yellowstone and Landman through the winter.

There have been a flurry of trips to Redhouse over the last few weeks and I've just published a film featuring three of them, which have all been digging trips. This time last year we were walking into big open leads and finding hundreds of metres of cave at a time. It's slowed down since then and every metre is now generally hard won, but we are still making finds and connections. The latest pushes into the unknown seem to have all featured tight torturous squeezes. One trip was filmed by Joel and one by Dan and I've added them together with my trip. Makes quite a long film but gives a good impression of what Redhouse exploring is now like...
