BULL POT.

The first hole on the new year's meets list was Bull Pot and was well attended by ten members. It had been raining all week and it was still pouring down when we arrived in Kingsdale. On the Way to the hole we glanced in at Yordas where the water had filled the main chamber to within three feet of the entrance roof.

On descending we met the water at the second pitch, Bull Pot's  first pitch being its usual dry self,  however by careful hanging of the ladder’s managed to avoid it until the fourth pitch. Here he water was tremendous and unavoidable but once below the lip the water passed over ones head until the bottom was reached where the full force was felt. A wet and bedraggled party of four ,Ian, Bill, Jim and a friend of Rays who had come down for laugh Ha. Ha.? and Jin Newton came to the last pitch, to find it half full of water. By this time everyone was beginning to led the cold and a rapid return was made, out to a still rainy day and the Marton Arms.
