Continuing the WRPC compilation of details on every project since the last NC1 here?s an excerpt of details about Hollow Tree Hole, Langstrothdale by John Clarke.. ?Now we had a problem, I?m bigger than Ian and Smithy had a bad back. But in the end I could could just reach Ian?s foot and Smithy could just reach mine. So with a lot of swearing and thrutching we managed to get out.

I mentioned to Ian not to push it so far in the future but both Smithy and I have done the same in the past. That?s how caves are found and we all got out safe. Without a lot of work including capping or snappering the way on may not warrant the time put in, but you never know..?
