Another sentence that brings on a sense of dread whenever I hear someone grunt it from around a corner...
...Oh I'd forgotten about this bit  :chair:

It has a "little bit" of challenge.
It's only knee deep, as I suddenly find myself singing soprano.
It gets bigger.
There's plenty of decent holds..

'How much longer before we're out?'

'20 minutes'

25 minutes later - 'How much longer before we're out?'

'20 minutes'

I fall for it every time...... ;)

Inconspicuous entrance - Don't bother lookingm there is absolutely no chance you'll find it.
Dubious passage - Its probably a dead sheep you're crawling through, but you can't be certain.
Short technical section - Opportunity to hang upside down by the goolies.
Pleasant streamway - "The lifejackets are under the seat and used thus..."
Low airspace - Yes, if you try, then you CAN breath the foam on the surface.
Letterbox - Practice section for entering bank vault.
Exposed climb - Can't be done irrespective of whether you're clothed or unclothed.
Airy stance - Opportunity to fill wellies from within oversuit.
Well decorated - You deserve a medal for getting thus far.
Awkward manoeuvre - Impossible if you don't work in a circus.
Flat out - Throttle pushed fully to the floor, but you still don't go anywhere.
Mendip cave - All of the above with the addition of copious mud.
Escape route - M5 followed by M6.

The deviation's easy to reach.

It's a bit awkward to get off the fourth pitch.

We'll be out in time for a pint.

"We'll only be in there 2-3 hours"
Oxlow is a quick trip, just certain clubs push the 2-3 hours to 8 sometimes...

My favourite is 'more muddy than you can comprehend'

It's still an understatement in OHA!
