An Introduction to Caving

I recently organised a beginner caving trip into County Pot for my brother and his wife, who has never been caving before. This was during a period of wet weather and conditions above and below ground were quite sporting.

Whilst underground we met a group on their way out, who told us of challenging conditions in Lower

Trident Streamway. We altered our plans accordingly; we omitted the planned Trident round trip and instead investigated Spout Hall and bypasses, and the Poetic Justice area. We had a very satisfying few hours, emerging clean and energised! Thanks to Al Cook for coming along and helping with rigging and belaying.
