<br /><br />Fleur polished up the entrance pitches after the previous day of gardening. We followed the howling gale to reach the 40m pitch reached by Mike &amp; Andrea on 05/08. Pete rigged over the top, "Natural Highs",with his rigging butler providing an ever-increasing rope length (10m replaced by 20m replaced by 40m). After traversing over 3 pitches we were on terra firma, in substantial passage with leads all around &amp; the sound of drilling above. I shinned up the RH wall into large phreas going up &amp; downstream, which I ambled along upstream until I was able to wave cheerily at Noel &amp; Holly who were dangling on the far side, wondering how to reach the balcony I was beaming out from. We settled for a DistoX "handshake" across the gulf.

After traversing over 3 pitches we were on terra firma, in substantial passage with leads all around &amp; the sound of drilling above. I shinned up the RH wall into large phreas going up &amp; downstream, which I ambled along upstream until I was able to wave cheerily at Noel &amp; Holly who were dangling on the far side, wondering how to reach the balcony I was beaming out from. We settled for a DistoX "handshake" across the gulf.
<br /><br />Fleur &amp; Pete surveyed the 'Leeds Bypass' while I put some "Unnatural Highs" bolts in (Pete's battery had died hence excessive use of natural protection). Then we surveyed on down-sip along the windy phreas. It just got bigger and bigger - while Pete &amp; Fleur followed the biggest windiest passage I took the frill to a draft phreatic pitch off to the left, left 15m down with a 'Y' hang waiting for someone to come along with another 30m or so of rope to descend it - 'Gardeners Question Time' due to the usual issue of just how much gardening to do. Fleur &amp; Pete returned having reached a traverse that needed rigging. So we took the drill along to the end, passing a dried up stream trench in the floor. The remaining 10m rope took us 2/3 along the traverse in 3 bolts + 1 natural, so a splendid lead for someone to continue into the phreas beyond. 230m in book.
<br /><br />We had a bit of a queue on the ent pitches, meeting up with Mike &amp; Elaine &amp; then Holly &amp; Noel, so we all compared our finds - all going, so smiles all round.
