Trip to be decided dependent on numbers.
Suggestions: Tatham Wife so Ian can put on a wetsuit and partake in Yorkshire fluids
Alum/Diccan crossover
Any others?

don't care count me in

I think I may be washing my hair on that day .....

I'm interested, however these questions must be addressed first.

• How Wet

• How many pitches

• Does it involve any abseiling down waterfalls? - That includes prussking up

• I heared whispers of "Ducks" i'm guessing that these are not the type that you feed in the park - how many?

Can anyone scan a copy of the rigging guide in and post it here please? I just want to know what I'm possibly letting myself in for

You can wash your hair down there by the sounds of it

what do you mean by that (we would'nt trick into anything) IT'S YORKSHIRE so it's going to be WET

As its Yorkshire:
WET = It's Particularly WET i.e. submersion swimming up waterfalls etc...
DRY = It's only a bit WET i.e minor rolling a round in water, light rain inside etc...
Sections of the same cave may be WET and DRY.
Wetness and dryness are relative and subjective terms. Shorter people like Ian are closer to the water and frequently wash their hair. People like Doug won't wear wetsuits even for known ducks and sumps. Although his surface is wet he carries an inner dryness.
Glad I could clear that up for you.

Tatham wife equipment
Ropes 7+45+30+20 Snorkel
Alum equipment
Ropes various routes 80+20 or 25+32+22+35+45 or...
Diccan equipment
Ropes 68+35+60 Thermal wetsuit and extra long snorkel for waterfalls if it rains whilst down.
Other suggestions?
There are easy trips up there if enough people want to do them.

...... I believe there is a nice trip around the village of Ingleton that doesn't require any ropes or a wetsuit. Handily, it starts and ends up in Bernies cafe

as it happens so do most of the caving trips to yorkshire so you might as well come caving that way you can take some shampoo with you and wash your hair because you can be sure it's going to be WET

Sorry i cant come this weekend. I'm keen to do a Yorkshire trip but have a lot on over the coming weeks. How about another trip on 19th or 20th june?

thanks for that ian . how did you rotate the image ?

Adobe photoshop (the photo/picture editing software I use). You will have one too (probably Microsoft Paint) and they all do (essentially) the same things.

TART swildons is a crackin trip sam even did the double trouble ducks when he was 15 . COME ON

I was more sensible and stayed at home

If you have your caving light pointed into your eyes everything will look bright and sunny

I need to change my Job - this looks like too much fun to be missing out on!
