    An informative discussion

    Recently there was long thread about the BCA. I can now post possible answers to some of the questions, such as "Why is the BCA still raising membership prices when there is a significant amount still left in its coffers?"

How do you fancy a Swildons trip with a difference:

In at Priddy Green sink, up to Tratman's then out Via the double pots and the 20 followed by the long wet way??

As it says at the top "THINKING OUT LOUD...."

I'd appreciate your comments about the feasability, timing, pre rigging etc.

So please NO flaming, just sensible comments thanks.

I reckon you could perhaps pull through Priddy Green Sink (if not you will need to return to de-rig)
The Mud Sump would need pre-checking / bailing if you are going in this direction.
The 20 is free climbable (but you could pre-rig a ladder if you needed).

Don't forget to pay your access fee to Farmer Main.

Your trip is entirely feasible but with a couple of advanced checks/bailings/riggings

Provided you fit in Priddy Green Sink  :-\

Have a good trip,  (y) don't forget to post a write up here after  :beer:

Pull through PGS, then free dive 3 and 2 using rocks down your wet suit, up the stream way, free climb the 20 and be out in time for tea  (y)

Piece of p*ss

Stu.

PS. The opening to PGS is fine, but Clitoris crawl and Tin Can Alley can be entertaining.

As Stu said the problems are at Clitoris crawl and Tin Can Alley. Tin Can Alley is very tight (on me, I had to remove a nib of rock (using a lump hammer and chisel that had been conveniently left in situ)) before I could pass the squeeze with all my clothing removed  :eek: (from my chest only) I counted every rib through and I have not been back since.  :confused:

Clitoris Crawl is intimidating but not particularly tight (but looks it!)  ;)

My chest size when I did it was about 42" BUT...

Size is a poor indicator as the restriction is a slot and the real dimension you need is front to back (and I don't know what that was)

It is a very short squeeze and should be passable by your "average" caver (or slightly wider cavers with a high pain threshold  :alien: )
