Woodhouse Way

[thehungrytroglobite]

I'm planning on doing Woodhouse Way soon but can't find much info on it on the internet. I already have the black book description. Just wondering:

1) Do people go through it often? I've never heard anyone mention is so am wondering, will it be really silted up?
2) Should I bring my neoprene hood or will I be okay in just a wetsuit?
3) Is it as hard to find as maracaibo (which I still haven't found)? If so, any tips on locating it?

thanks!

Have you seen this report of its exploration? https://easegill.rrcpc.org.uk/text/Early_Wway.htm
It implies that the sumps can fill up after passing through them, and can't be drained from the far side.

Enough was enough. With no one to keep the siphon open the ducks would be almost full again. We retraced our steps to the first two ducks which, sure enough, had filled (the siphoners had got bored waiting and gone out). Some hairy free-diving through underwater squeezes and we were soon back in the Main Drain, exiting after a successful but knackering eight hours.
