Wigmore Swallet

I'm going to Wigmore this week for the first time in years. Would someone please tell me what bolting is available for the ladders, and is it feasible to use SRT? Is the access unchanged?
Thanks
Chris

As far as i am aware there is no changes on access, we were talking ourselves about paying it a visit this week having not done it for years, but have only ever done it on ladder before so can't comment on SRT. You might want to take note of http://ukcaving.com/board/index.php?topic=12099.0 - as far as we know the broken ladder is still in the cave, so if you happen to go before us, can you bring it out or at least move it away from the pitch.

First pitch - Black Pudding has a suspect bolt that the ladder is hung from, and another that has a chain backup.

Second Pitch - Yeo has a sling around a boulder that the ladder is clipped to.

I would (personally) not even attempt to fart around with ropes and chuck some ladders down.

Cheers

Stu.

Would anyone be able to say how many streams enter Wigmore?

I'm sure anyone could but there is no guarantee they would be right.  :sneaky:

When you ask how many, how do you define a stream? For instance, the main stream is actually made of seperate streams as well, from Red Quar, Tor Hole and others. Would these count as 1 stream or many?
