On Wednesday 19th September members of the Wessex Cave Club and Cheddar Caving Club succeeded in connecting Bath Swallet and Rods Pot. It had been anticipated that the upward dig in Bath would connect with the end of 'Purple Passage' in Rods Pot and this proved to be true. This creates what is probably Mendip's third longest through trip. Please feel free to enjoy this trip but be aware that:
More information and photos to be posted soon.
- The dig, 'Purple Pot', is probably not free-climbable and requires a ladder for ascent (7 metres)
- Loose material in the Pot is a hazard
- The crawl at the bottom of the Pot is liable to block and it would be helpful if passing cavers could dig out at least one bucketful of spoil
