The dire weather forecast led us to an innovative solution: camping in KH and pushing whilst the deluges occurred. We shuttled some kit the previous day then on the day descended with two bags each. We hadn't got a camp site set but saw a flattish, muddy area right at the bottom of the two 161G entrance pitches at the start of the passage to 161H.
The dire weather forecast led us to an innovative solution: camping in KH and pushing whilst the deluges occurred. We shuttled some kit the previous day then on the day descended with two bags each. We hadn't got a camp site set but saw a flattish, muddy area right at the bottom of the two 161G entrance pitches at the start of the passage to 161H. Given we were using personal kit for the camp we decided the ease of access made up for the slightly lumpy floor.

This was draughty so we built two walls and put a tarp against one which blocked some. Water was easily collected from nearby drips (steady streams once the rain started). After setting up camp it was too late for a full pushing trip beyond Staircase 36 so we went on a tour of KH entrances. Having entered by G we exited briefly at D (still sunny) then F (checking out the leads marked on the survey ... several of which seemed to be fantasy or at least requiring downgrading but a few seemed worth pursuing - Tunnel survey has now been updated) and E (which only Charlotte managed to exit via ... she managed to squeeze over an unstable boulder which, if it moved, would block you in. Russell failed to wrestle it away and the rest of us decided the risk wasn't worth it. Finally we went out of H by which time it had started to rain so 4 entrances for us and 5 for Charlotte.
The site was draughty so we built two walls either end of the sleeping area and put a tarp against one which blocked some of the wind. Water was easily collected from nearby drips (steady streams once the rain started).
