Our bags were very heavy with lots of ropes, hangers and all our caving kit to get to the \nstore of ropes at the bottom of the 4th pitch. James and Jacob found the cave with minimal snow and \ncleared and flattened it whilst Charlotte kitted up to go in and rig.Jacob hadn't brought a chest \nharness to expo so some macguyvering of a sling was in order. Rigging went smoothly past the chossy \ndeath pitch and tasteful noods until we got to the icy tube pitch. Charlotte rigged the wrong way \nhere as the topo from Jonty had confused hiltis for expansions. Cue an hour of going down the wrong \npitch and then back up and fruitful searching for hiltis (unreflectored). Charlotte found the nright \nbolts and eventually the rest of us got into a group shelter and started singing, hugging, shivering \nand eating flapjack to stay warm. We even wrote a new verse of Hard Caver.\n<p>\nThe plateau is perfect for caving they say\n<br>\nas long as you find them and don't lose your way\n<br>\nwe went down to fishface to collect all the rope\n<br>\nbut missed half the bolts and we lost all our hope\n.....\n<p>\nEventually we heard rope free and quickly made our way down to the rope store at the bottom. As I \npassed the deviation at the bottom my light decided it didn't want to work anymore meaning i had to \nuse my spare which fortunatly was around my neck! Large tacklebags were filled up with large \nquantities of rope which then were prussiced out by this years expos first and keenest cavers. we \nemerged after much fighting with bags (charlotte really likes having three bags whilst derigging) to \na lovely evening with the sun just having set, and enjoyed a relaxing walk back to top with the milky \nway looking over us. (The walk was much less relaxing for me as the spade handle kept getting caught \non things and tried to kill me multiple times).",

"title": "basecamp - Bread Making",
"place": "basecamp",
"other_people": "",
"text": "<p>\nWith an afternoon of festering well on the way after arriving back from our FF rope \nretrieving trip yesterday, it was decided that I should try my hand at bread making. \nHolding a degree in International Relations from Aberystwyth University, I was deemed \nthe perfect candidate for checking if the instructions were indeed 'idiot proof'. \nHolding a Masters degree in International Relations from Aberystwyth University I was \nof course delighted to find the 'Numpty Dumpty makes a loaf of bread' edition of the \ninstructions. \n<p>\nAfter initial faff with finding and setting up the equipment an opportunity was \nidentified to time how long it would in fact take for me to wrap my head around the \nguide, and get a loaf of bread started in the machine. A stopwatch was started and I \ncontinued. \n<p> \nRegrettably the faff continued. Notable moments include setting 20ml of water out in \nthe sun to warm enough to activate the yeast, and indeed going down an internet forum \nrabbit hole to try to decipher how much water to add to about a third of a packet of \nyeast in the first place. A heated debate also arose from the instructions regarding \nthe stirring implement for the bread mixer. In absence of a wooden or plastic spoon I \nelected to use the *cleaned* plastic handle of a sharp knife. Before I could enact my \nplan however I was hurriedly halted by Phil, insisting I used the special tool which \napparently exists to stir the bread. This tool takes the form of a plastic knife. A \nplastic knife is of course not the wooden or plastic spoon noted in the specification \nfor the bread making machine, and despite my pleas that between the two they are so \nsimilar that stirring potential would not differ, I eventually yielded, trusting in the \nexperienced guidance that the knife would produce the best results.\n<p>\nOn to the results though, the bit you are all interested in. After dutifully waiting \nthe three and a half hours, the bread was extracted. Slicing it up, samples were \ndistributed. I'll leave it to the quotes to put together the picture of how it went.\n<p>\nTrying the bread first, Phil came out with \"It's not mixed very well, there are dense \nlumps of salt in it\". Under usual circumstances this would not be too bad, however the \nquote was accompanied with a deliberate journey to the door of the tatty hut and \nbeyond. The bread's final resting place we can only guess at, but it is alluded to \nbeing the bush outside. \n<p>\nUpon Mr. Waite trying the bread second he ended up lying on the floor, claiming the \nbread was \"so dense I had to lie down\". When I made a move to pretend to kick James on \nthe way past he responded \"please don't make it come up, I don't want to taste it \ntwice!\" It was at this point when Jacob chimed in with the tactful comment \"I couldn't \neven finish mine\", adding \"I feel nauseous\" for good measure. \n<p>\nI do not know how it says more about (my bread, the others or Charlotte) but her \ncomment was \"I thought it was actually quite nice\". So there you go, idiosyncratic \ntaste buds or an unwavering commitment to politeness? I'll let you decide.\n<p>\nIn the end I took this episode as an omen, deciding to call off my trip up the plateau \nearly tomorrow morning. I was on the edge and this certainly seemed like the universe \nsending me a message. There is a silver lining though, and that is that I'll certainly \nnever be asked to make bread again. Another afternoon drinking beer for me!\n<br>\nYours to the final Sump,<br>\nIsaac.",

So either ArGE are incredibly hard, or the path has healed up since 2000, or they have recorded the wrong GPS position. I suspect that it is really the same as 114 and that they have the wrong GPS.\n<p>\nIt was horrid: lower altitude and lots of curious cows meant lots of flies, cow flies, horse flies, humid scratchy larchen. Nasty. So I went on to the next target which was to check out some entrances lacking photos on the near part of the plateau.\n<p>\nI can say categorically that a GPS position is not sufficient to disambiguate entrances when there are 5 pits all within a few meters. One would need good photos and very clear descriptions. This is the case for 1623-81, 81b and 1623-82b. <a href=\"/1623/82/82.html\">1623-82</a> 82 and 85 was easily identified because the paint and tag were in place. Ditto 148, but I failed with 289 too.\n<p>OK so lots of frustratingly similar photographs were take (with GPS coordinates in the EXIF data at least). My phone battery died with all the GPS work, and even with a spare battery pack it died again. So I took decided to get my exercise by walking up to top camp, having a coffee (nobody there). I left at about 14:00 and walked back.\n<p>The Berg Restaurant was not serving food, but beer was extremely welcome. As was the Austrian trio of double-base, accordion and base guitar which was serenading the just-off-work seilbahn station workers, who were tucking into roast pig, sauerkraut and potatoes. Very, very Austrian.\n<p>Got a lift back down the toll road to Alt Aussee with a multigenerational German family in a very small car: the granddaughter had to sit across Granny and my laps. This was a bit uncomfortable for all concerned s she was about 18.<p>\nWalked back to Bad Aussee. Had coffee having missed last bus.\n<p>Walked back to Gasthof. At which point I discovered Jono had driven down and if I had just stayed drinking beer I would have got a lift. Ho Hum.",

"text": "Zero stoke for this trip and a crack of 11am start saw us heading down with the 2 bags of rope to rig \nMongol Rally plus associated hardware and some kit to keep us warm, safe and happy. The 2024 rig of \nthe entrance pitch felt unfamiliar - below the first ledge, the next rebelay had me stood under a \ndrip on the right wall on a lower ledge with a tensioned traverse line that Anthony had rigged \nyesterday, heading over to the Y-hang for the main, long hang. I removed the rebelay, ignored the \nresultant mild rub (sorted later, no fear dear reader) and headed down. \n<p>\n<p>Soon enough we were at the head of Honeycomb. Ruairidh and Marie immediately settled into their \nbothy and I was left to start rigging. Two minutes later, at 13.22 I heard the taps turn on. \"It's a \nflood pulse, Ruaridh\". This meant there'd be no point trying to get out in the next few hours. I \nheaded down, past the 2nd Y-hang to the first single bolt Hilti spit rebelay. Such things are usually \nhidden by a nice, big hanger. Seen naked, it's smashed-in, cratered surround looked disconcertingly \nbad. And the air rushing from the roaring waterfall immediately below had me shivering. I turned tail \nand prussiked back up to add a thermal in the toasty bothy bag and collected the drill. This was \nAnthony's brand new drill, and a thing of beauty. Hammer and drill tethers with delightful, dinky \nscrewgates plus baby snaplinks to clip them up. Drill bits carefully taped up to the right length. A \nblowing tube and even a spare spanner in case you were numpty enough to drop your first. The drill \nitself was nestled in foam padding then a dry bag that had, get this, no holes. It felt mean to him \nto be christening it. \n<p>\nHaving added a bolt to the first single bolt rebelay it seemed sensible to add another to the next \nsingle bolt rebelay then I headed on down. Marie followed me with the Hangman's rope bag but said \nthat Ruaridh was sick with stomach pains and was staying at the top. She had been keen to rig but the \nnext pitch and hand-line turned out to be still in situ. Instead, she put in a new through bolt for a \ntraverse line to the initial short pitch leading to Hangman's. \n<p>Having rigged down to the start of Hangman's we ferried our bags down then, unexpectedly, Ruaridh \narrived. Despite a hacking cough and some strange smells he had managed to bring down one of the \nMongol Rally bags which was impressive. I was, though, a bit less impressed that neither he or Marie \nhad brought down any food, water, the stove, bothy or first aid kit so it seemed sensible to call the \ntrip and head on out. \n<p>Ruaridh was suffering on the exit but we plodded out a reasonable pace, Marie and I had noodles at \nthe base of the entrance to give the water more time to recede then I offered to head up first, being \nthe only one who'd brought a kagoule.\n<p> The bottom third of the long drop (2nd one up) was the wettest where spray filled the shaft but \nit wasn't too bad so I whistled for the others then rigged the single bolt rebelay above the long \ndrop Y-hang to remove the rub. We were all out by 10 so T/U 11 hours. Beautiful, moonlit and clear \nwalk back to an empty Top Camp.\n<p>\n[Ed. \"RM\" is ambiguous in 2024, because of Ruaridh and Rachel.]",

The plan had been to use some of the rope we'd taken out of the cave from last year's leads and Wassil and co. had washed and brought back out the hill. Wassil told Charlotte they needed all the rope for second coming which put a bit of a dampener on the trip as we were pretty sure we didn't have enough to reach the watershed pushing front. Ah well, might as well get as far as we could. \n<p> Nothing very eventful happened in the entrance series; I shat myself mildly less on the traverse at the bottom of Grommit that the two previous times (progress!) and rewarded myself with a piss in the streamway. It was to be the first of many.\n<p>\nWe sadly continued on past the nice pile of rope and up the dodgy muddy rope that led to watershed. The best event in this section was that James refound my breaking-crab which I was extremely happy -and vaguely sentimental- about. James rebolted a scary corner traverse which made it 10% less scary. It went sandy crawl, sandy crawl, muddy crawl, muddy puddles interspersed with a few pitches till the top of Strained by Gravity. \n<p> Here Isaac, Charlotte and I waited for James to rig what we haden't got to two days before. James made some strange grunts and groans which we elected to ignore. In the meantime Charlotte read another chapter of our bedtime story (Into Thin Air) and Isaac told us about the trials and tribulations of his job. We eventually got the all clear and descended to find James annoyed as the pitch lengths and rope lengths aligned unsatisfactorily and he'd had to turn back for several missed deviations. His mood was not improved by having missed a chapter of story-time.\n<p> After another piss for bravery we continued to the many many metres of traverses. I was pleasantly surprised by how not scary it was, the mud was slippy but they weren't very exposed and sliding over on my knees eventually became fun.\n\nMany slidy sandy bits through flow-stone canyon led to the top of The Sound of Water which Isaac offered to re-bolt and rig. James and I took a group piss then cuddled to keep warm and made up verses to Hard Caver:\n<p> <em> We rigged in Homecoming for many a day\n<p> pirates stole our rope and for that they will pay\n<p> we slid down traverses, got covered in sand\n<p> then ran out of rope so the pushing got canned </em>\n \n<p> At this point we decided to turn around. Isaac produced the first iconic quote of the day, not three metres into prussicing: 'I want to kill myself'. I took another piss (at this point questioning how much water i must have drunk) and we let him get a head start out the traverses. We spent a faffy time surverying a side lead (a traverse leading off flowstone canyon). James got sketched out after 4 or so points and we headed off. \n\n<p> I realised i still had my jacket and hat on half way up Strained by Gravity and nearly expired of heat. At the top we met up with Isaac, collected the brew kit and headed on to the top of Sump Bypass where we ate some moderately sandy noodles with a spanner. I took a piss to celebrate. Isaac really seemed like he needed them and produced iconic quote no. 2: 'I feel like fried chicken before it's fried; covered in mud then breaded in sand'.\n\n<p> Isaac and Charlotte headed out whilst James and I took a detour to survey Heifer. We had to drain a bit of a static sump and tried not to contemplate falling in. the actual aven through the wet bit was extremely cool and James excitedly took disto points while I stood on a rock and tried to keep up on book. It seemed like it went up 40 metres! We christened it Cow-Lick (as it was drippy) and as a few hours had now past we headed out. I had one final piss, by this point even James was concerned. \n\nthe entrance series dragged on a bit, especially as James had to isolate a shagged section on Grommit and the Wallace rope was still 2013 (agh). By Radagast I was dreaming of Gosser, Chips and my book so the final pitch to the surface was very welcome. \n<p> Outside Homecoming we met Charlotte and Issac who made one final iconic quote: 'being out of the cave feels better than loosing my virginity'. We headed back very tiredly to the sweet damp embrace of Garlic Camp. Great trip.",

"text": "<p>The objective for today was to head over towards the Griesskogel camp used by ARGE some years ago to find a few of their caves that are in interesting places given what we have recently found in deep Balkonh&ouml;hle. We also planned to swing by a few caves that were lacking entrance photos to rectify the shortfall. Ruairidh was also keen to drop an undescended pitch in 2012-ns-07 (aka 2016#01), so we took drill, rope SRT kit etc.</p>\n\n<p>In the course of our wanderings, we came across an interesting rusty artefact. The base camp brains trust reckons this to be a reserve fuel tank likely jettisoned from a second world war era plane.</p>\n\n<img src=\"/expofiles/photos/2024/AnthonyDay/mysterious-crash-wreckage.jpg\" style=\"transform:rotate(270deg); object-fit:contain; object-position: left top;\" width=400px height=400px>\n\n<p>Our first target was to find the entrance to 1623/261. This is a fairly insignificant cave: &lt;100m long, &lt;50m deep. The interesting feature is that the cave is aligned with development in deep Balkonh&ouml;hle, specifically Charon, so I was interested to discover if there were any obvious similarly aligned surface features. Sure enough, the 1623/261 entrance was found to be in the side of a chossy gully. We didn't have a compass, so cannot confirm the alignment, but it seems highly probable that this surface feature is related to development of 1623/261 and deep Balkonh&ouml;hle. (There is another similarly aligned ARGE cave - Haldenloch (appears not to have a number) - that is further away to the northeast that we didn't visit.)</p>\n\n<img src=\"/expofiles/photos/2024/AnthonyDay/surface-gulley-near-1623_261-looking-south.jpg\" width=40%>\n\n<p>We also found the campsite used by ARGE some years ago, identified as the flat area of limestone complete with hangers that they used to fasten their tents to. Immediately above this campsite, we found the entrance to Griesskogelschacht (1623/232).</p>\n\n<p>On our way home, we stopped off at 2012-ns-07 (tagged as 2016#01). Ruairidh headed down in dry grots while I sat in the sun offering advice on thrubolt placement technique and rock quality from a vantage point 15m away where I couldn't actually see what was going on. Two bolts later, Ruairidh made it to the bottom which appears to be choked with boulders (though someone in an oversuit may prove more willing to absolutely confirm that). There is also an upgoing unexplored passage (QM B). Not super promising, but probably worth a return visit. If the cave goes anywhere, it is likely to connect to the upper levels of Balkonh&ouml;hle.</p>\n\n<p>In the course of our wanderings we took photos of the following entrances:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>2012-dd-01</li>\n<li>2012-ns-05</li>\n<li>2012-ns-06</li>\n<li>2012-ns-07, aka 2016#01</li>\n<li>2012-ns-09</li>\n<li>2012-ns-10</li>\n<li>2012-ns-12</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>All photos have been added to the relevant cave page (except where an existing entrance photo could be resurrected). With the exception of 2012-dd-01, all other caves should now have sufficient information to be added to the Kataster. There is a 2022 survey of 2012-ns-05 and 2012-ns-06 that is not in the dataset; the survex file is very sparse and contains no clues as to where the connecting points should be.</p>\n\n<p>T/U applies to Ruairidh only.</p>",

"place": "1626-359",
"other_people": "",
"text": "<p>Wassil was excited to finally make some progress on 2nd coming, so\nwe walked over to Homecoming from top camp with a nice new rope to\nhave a serious rigging attempt.</p>\n<p>\nMet Charlotte's group at the entrance and had an awkward\nconversation about rope as they were short, but we wanted to use what\nwe'd carried over to rig down so couldn't really spare any.</p>\n<p>\nIn fact on packing we realised that we could spare about 40m, but\nthe others had gone. Sent quick-change Sieds down to try and catch\nthem up but he was too late, so that didn't help in the end.</p>\n<p>\nWhen I got to 2nd Coming I was _very_ impressed with the draft,\nwhich is massive despite a very tall rift. Wassil and Sieds went off\nto start rerigging down the pitches and I was left to tart up the\ndodgy traverses, using my nice new Miwaukee M12 drill. I'd not\nactually put a through-bolt in since China in 2014 so a quick refresh\nwas done to be sure I didn't screw it up. I now spent about 7 hours on\nmy own except for 2 visits from Sieds looking for more bolts and/or\nnuts. The existing rigging was pretty shoddy with a few bits of cut\nrope on traverse segments, but not much rhyme or reason about which\nbits were rigged and which weren't. It was true that much of it didn't\nexactly _need_ a rope, but as a trade route it really wasn't very safe\nwithout one.</p>\n<p>\nI started where the previous trip had left off after a couple of\nbolts, soon noticing that there was a perfectly good floor about 6m\ndown so went to see why not just go that way. It was a bit narrow in\nplaces and after about 80m you end up pushed back up to the traverse\nlevel by rockfall, so maybe staying at the traverse level made sense,\nalthough it seemed marginal. Initially I replaced the old 2012 rope\nwith some in-date stuff, but rapidly ran out of new rope and had to\nput the old stuff back on the next section. Someone to discuss rigging\nwith would have been nice, as it was very hard to decide which bits\nshould have a rope and which didn't need one, but as it was just me I\ndid my best to make it not-shit. Did some gardening too.</p>\n<p>\nHours with no floor is a pain. I had to unchain a ~60m rope without\nanywhere to put the loops except one wedged rock. Turns out it can be\ndone, by draping the rope carefully over your legs braced across the\nrift and taking a lot of care not to get things tangled, but that was\nanother 40 mins gone.</p>\n<p>\nEventually the others returned, having run out of nuts, even the\nones scavenged from my rigging. I had put 11.5 bolts in (with a 4ah\nbattery) and it still wsn't quite dead, so that was good. Wassil told\nme to put rope on the couple of sections I'd decided were easy enough\nto remain unroped, so apparently I should have just done the whole lot\n anyway.</p>\n<p>\nI put one more hole in on the way out, near the top of Wallace,\njust above the deviation, in order to get rid of the ridiculous offset\nrebelay and epic return deviation, but that finally did finish off the\nbattery so I had to leave it as a job to be finished another time. 12\nholes final score. Got out about midnight, and we still had that\nbloody walk back to the Stone Bridge as Garlic was full of Charlotte's\nteam. It's 150m of height gain over the 2nd kilometre, plus another\n35m of extra up-and-downing (according to my GPS), which is why it\nfeels like bloody hard work, especially carying all your gear at\n2am. At least our improved reflectoring and cairning (and less cloud)\nmeant we didn't get lost this time.</p>\n<p>\nA good trip, although it was a pity I didn't get to see more of the\nroute in the end, as I was now decamping to Balcony to help get that\nrigged.</p>",

"text": "<p>A canyonning trip was suggested, and as I'd done it a couple of\ntimes before and thus knew where it was, and what to look out for, it\nwas easy to blag my way on. We had this idea a bit later in the day\nthan was ideal, because Strubklamm is miles away (most of the way back\nto Salzburg), but it also meant that I was able to collect Tess from\nthe station before buggering off like a very naughty husband. I had\nbrought my new wetsuit and was eager to find out if it made Strubklamm\ninto a much less cold-and-miserable experience than previous\nattempts. I was also able to borrow a (kayaking) helmet and neoprene\nbooties from Julia, which, combined with some sandals and spare caving\ngloves, was enough kit to canyon (as this one doesn't actually need a\nharness if you can manage an 8m jump).</p>\n\n<p>We were going to take my van and Charlotte's car but Tess wanted\nthe Van, and it's a long way to take two cars, so when PhilB appeared\nwe pounced on him and made him drive all 5 of us there (Charlote in\nthe boot). This was very kind as it's about 1hr40 mins each way, and\nhe doesn't even get to do the canyon. Having a driver avoids all the\nshuttle-faff too, which is great, especialy as it turned out the\nhuttle-road was closed for works, so there was quite a long\ndrive-around which would have made us even later.</p>\n\n<p>This was Isaac and Charlotte's 1st ever canyonning trip, and\nMarie's 2nd (after the disastrously cold 'Haute Borne' in the\nArdeche), but we were a crack team of potholers with two harnesses\nbetween us so what could possibly go wrong?</p>\n\n<p>In fact the descent was very smooth with everyone having fun, at\nleast to start with. The water was quite a pleasant temperature,\nalthough every inlet was much colder so we got a chilly bit every so\noften as they came in. However it is longer than I remember and there\nis a _lot_ of swimming, with a long section in the middle starting\nwith a canyon, and then a couple more long swims. Clearly the local\ncanyonning school uses it a lot so there were lots of in-situ ropes\nfor getting to good takeoffs and dealing with any slippery bits, or\njust abseiling if you didn't like the bigger jumps. (Marie skipped the\nbiggest one).</p>\n\n<p>Much jumping fun was had, with Charlotte of course taking to the\ngame with gusto, although neither of us was any good at keeping the\nwater out of our noses on impact, and I managed to bite my tongue on\none jump, which was dim. Everyone avoided broken ankles or being\nimpaled on trees, just some coughing and spluttering.</p>\n\n<p>I hardly recognised any of the 2nd half as obviously my brain had\nshut down with the chilly misery on the previous two attempts after\nthe 1st long swim. This time it was all rather lovely - it is a _very_\npretty canyon. Marie found herself a bit short of stoke after the 1st\nhalf, partly due to the baggy 2mm wetsuit and partly not having\nevtirely recovered from the great chunder trip. 1.4km of canyonning\n(with ~400m of swimming) over 3 hours feels like quite a long\nway, and it was a relief to swim round a corner and finally see a\nslackline being rigged and a footbridge with a beach which marks the\nescape.</p>\n\n<p>Phil was even there to rescue us, so that all worked out\nnicely. Good trip, and it's a lot nicer with 5 than 10 but still takes\na solid 3 hours. We got back about 7pm.</p>",

While Isaac nipped down to Homecoming to find a drill bit, I scouted the rigging. The rock at the top was a bit funky due to frost etc. After a bit of beating, I identified places to set some pulses. Isaac returned with the drill and I quickly drilled a few holes and placed the pulses.\n<p>\nI expected to drop into a large chamber, but instead found myself in 2.5 meter diameter shaft that went down at 15 meters.

"text": "<p>Walked up to top camp in the evening ready for trip down\nBalkonhoehle to get Mongol Raly rigged with Jono. I was somewhat\nperplexed to find no sign of Jono, and still not as it went dark. He\neventually turned up about 10am the next morning. We had our gear to\n carry over so it wasn't a particularly early start.</p>\n<p>\n<p>I had forgotten a load of the upper passages, but did at least\nremember the obscure left turn for Honeycomb/Mongol Rally. Soon enough\nwe arrived at the end of the rigging part-way down hangmans, complete\nwith a rigging diag, some rope and a drill. Jono did this one,\ncomplaining at the bottom that the bolts didn't match the diagram,\nrigging a 2-bolt rebelay as a rather peculiar deviation. We realised\nthat we were starting part-way down the rigging diagram, not the top,\nso he went back up to put it right whilst I continued to start Mongol\nRally. Dragging the gear through was the usual faff (someone should\njust take a spade and make that crawl bigger).</p>\n<p>\n<p>So now it was my turn and I suited up with Anthony's nice new drill\nand 125m of rope. The 25m didn't quite reach across the traverse with\na big thread round a boulder, so I put a bolt in the roof to improve\nthe rigging (another one just over the hole in the floor would make\nthe traverse line a lot more useful, I later realised). The rock was\nimpressively cheesy, with about 20mm of goo to remove before getting\nto actual rock.</p>\n<p>\n<p>The rigging diagram suggested another bolt near the top so I added\none about 6m down on a nose to the right, only to realise that one had\nprobably already been done some previous year. I also realised at this\npoint that the tape on Anthony's drill bit was set rather too short\nfor reliable bolt-setting so adjusted it to give an extra 10mm of\nhole. I then added another bolt on the left, replacing one in the\nmaximum rub-spot just under a lip (very odd placement). This finally\nremoved all the rubs on this top slope and actually made the\nchangeovers nicer, so I think it's an improvement. </p>\n<p>\n<p>Next dilemma was whether to use the bolt on a nose (with hanger\nleft behind) or the reflectored bolt on the well-used muddy route. The\nnose was harder to get to but gave a nicer hang (and was suggested on\nthe rigging diagram). With a sling to help the changeover it actually\nworked quite well, although maybe the obvious route would also work\nfine - there is no way of knowing without trying both and I had faffed\nenough by now. Continued down for another hour or so rigging\nrebelays. The rigging guide is accurate. Hummed and hawed some more at\nthe odder bits of rigging trying to work out what 'better' might look\nlike. Left one bit (with a nearly horizontal deviation) some extra\nrope to come back to and add a bolt if time allowed but pressed on\nuntil the rope ran out, just on the same ledge that had had a knot\npass in 2022. Looks like that is where 100m gets you to.</p>\n<p>\n<p>We were out of time so called it a day and headed off out, only\nrealising on the way out that the rope bag we had left contained a\nnote 'top of mongol rally' in it so we had used the wrong one (misled\nby the '25m' rope in the top matching the '25m' rope marked on the\ntopo for the traverse. Oh well.</p>\n<p>\n<p>Got out around 11:30, having had a very satisfying trip, Jono had\nfinally got underground and enjoyed himself. It was a chill trip with\nalmost zero stress, and we'd done enough to make a camping trip\nfeasible next time.</p>",

Clearly one person was the issue here. *editorial note: it would transpire that Lara concluded faffing a good 20 mins after the futile pantin was birthed*\n<p>\nHarry and Charlotte entered early to rerig and apparently faffed for an ungodly amount of time. Chi and I got underground at 12:40 collecting Charlotte's Pantin, which she had ironically managed to forget after it had been used as a model for the Frankenpantin. Much faff followed this as well: we raced down to the top of Wallace where we met Harry coming up the pitch. He had somehow managed some mess involving a dropped drill bag, a random pitch and disgustingly twisty rope. All was retrieved and the rope was replaced. \n<p>\nChi zoomed down to join Charlotte and de-rig Heifer for rope while I coiled the old shit 2013 11mil (it was not a pretty job). Harry and I sat kindly waiting for each other to finish 5 minutes after both of us had, without saying anything. \n<p>\nOn the way to the pushing front only one eventful thing happened. Harry got entertainingly stuck on a pitch-head after descending into the traverse line. He attempted to climb over it at the risk of falling backwards, again, much to my entertainment, before giving up.\n<p>\nWe decided to push the QMA aven at the start of Flowstone Canyon. Chi and I pushed a lovely big rock down it first. Nice stuff. <b>EDITORIAL NOTE it was at the end of Watershed, the aven isn't in Flowstone Canyon </b>. Chi spent 20 slow minutes putting in bolts while we layered up. He was frustrated at how slow the drill was until it was pointed out to him that it was in reverse. Chi blamed DeWalt. He then claimed that some strange mineral vein had fucked his drill bit, which turned out to be entirely flat at the tip. With the drill bit swapped, he tried to put it in the same hole and fucked the second bit a little too. We eventually dropped the pitch. \n<p>\nThe bottom had a potential camping place (whooo). It was drippy on the pitch side of the pot but dry on the other with a flat rocky area you could potentially fit four sleepers in. Chi also realised I had left his down jacket at the top of the pitch thinking it was the emergency shelter. In my defence they were in identical orange bags. \n<p>\nAfter lots and lots of discussion Chi called the chamber 'Peculiar Pot' after the strange large boulders surrounding the camp. I surveyed, Harry drilled and we dropped a pitch down the rift on the other side. What followed was a lot of wiggly rift with a pitch at the end. Due to the strange pitch/traverse Harry rigged which you had to stand in it was dubbed Perverse Pitch which proved itself accurate.\n<p>\nWe agreed to finally turn around once it was dropped, it already being 9pm. Annoyingly, (or not) at the bottom we found the side of the Sound of Water pitch. Loop closure! This of course meant closing the survey loop and derigging what we'd just dropped, making the whole exercise interesting but a little pointless.\n<p>\nI forgot that Harry's water bottle was in the bottom of my bag, and may have slightly convinced them they were wrong. Harry, desperate for a drink took a sip from a streamway before realising it was a little frothy a few feet upstream. Chi and I had indeed pissed there five minutes before. The dehydration continued as all the other water was used for noodles and Harry had never found his, how mysterious. I was in trouble when I emptied my tackle sack on the surface but on the plus side denying Harry basic human necessities slowed him down behind me on the entrance series. \n<p>\nHarry and Charlotte slowed themselves down by doing some more Wallace fettling. Chi and I got out at the lovely hour of 3am and napped for the 15 minutes before they caught up. I got deja vu as we headed up to Garlic and immediately passed out. A very long, very fun day.",

"text": "A hot, heavy walk up from Base Camp saw Sieds and Becka underground at 14.30. At the short drop with a high rebelay before Wallace and Grommit Sieds had accidentally dropped a large, loose rock on his last trip. Unfortunately, he now realised that the huge rock next to this previous rock was also extremely loose. We were aware that there was already a trip below us in Homecoming but the other rock was extremely loose so I derigged the next rebelay and prussiked up to the high rebelay and held the rope out of the way. Sieds then gently pushed the giant rock and it immediately toppled. I then headed down cautiously. The rope initially looked fine but at the Y-hang rebelay for the final long hang the Y-hang arm had been cored and the knot also looked to be damaged. I painstakingly got the knot out and tied out as much as I could then we headed down, leaving a warning not for the other group.\n<p>\nWe went to Second Coming and, at the first traverse, wondered why it was rigged 5m above the obvious floor so Sieds scrambled down and checked it was OK to walk down. I derigged the first traverse, releasing four short ropes and plenty of metalware and we put in a short handline to the floor to replace it. We then checked out other lower sections and went to the third traverse. This was, mysteriously, rigged on the right wall, wandering up and down it. Sieds began to rig a more straightforward and easy traverse along the left wall but he ran out of time to complete it.\n<p>\nWe got out of the cave at midnight and Sieds walked to Garlic camp and I walked to Top Camp with a full moon and no wind. I could see and hear Sieds as he approached Garlic when I was almost at Top Camp, it was so still and silent. It was nearly 2am before I got to Top Camp and I crept around making food trying not to disturb anyone - I didn't realise until the next morning that there was nobody else there.",

"text": "Following the walk across the plateau with everyone and Isaac (who watched us go in before heading off to Garlic), and a lot of faff, we went down the entrance series. Lara lead the way, followed by Rosa, Tom, and then I. Tom had a battle with the entrance pitch - unaided by the 5om of rope I had given him to take down - which required teamwork and feeding him chocolate role like it's an apple to free him.\n<p>\nI found the entrance series' rigging a bit needlessly hard but when it was explained to me about the usual state of the snow plug it made a lot more sense.\n<p>\nWhen we got down to the top of Radogast I got all my bolting kit together and abbed down on the fixed rope with the rope for the pitch in the bag on my hip. (You can probably guess what's coming up!) When about 7m down there was a lovely flat as anything wall of rock where I put a rebelay in, but not before using a wide range of climbing moves to pull myself in and get my skyhook on. Annoyingly, the skyhook popped as I was getting a bolt out the bag so I had to do that very physical part twice. It was about here that I discovered that alpine caves didn't feel as cold as I believed they would be - owing to quite how dry they are. I was positively cooking! \n<p>\nOnce I got the bolts in I threw the end of my rope up to Lara to rig on the pitch-head so I could rig the rebelay and come back up - my legs were going a bit too tingly for my liking! At the top I learnt the others were quite cold but I needed a moment to regain use of my legs because they'd become quite painful. With renewed blood flow to my lower limbs I abbed back down, got embarrassingly stuck on my rebelay (small cowstail crab got pinned and wouldn't come out), abbed down, did some swinging back and forth and then left and right so I was swinging round in a circle so I could grab another bit of rock, hook it and pull myself in. Placed one bolt and then did a fairly scary traverse out on my cowstails trying not to whip into the void of Radogast as I clambered into the tube and placed my final bolt.\n<p>\nOnce all that was finished being rigged Lara came down to see (the first bolt of the traverse line spun a bit (It was being pulled in every direction), she joined me, we left the rope and the bag behind and made our way out (Lara tightened the bolt to perfection - I think a forgot to clean all the clay off first time round). I have absolutely no idea how they got into here in 2018 except maybe running off the top of the pitchhead and doing a massive rope rub pendulum into it!\n<p>\nThe others had already started their own way out, having got cold and bored - sorry! We followed out and there I caught up with Tom who had had a scary moment with his D-ring spinning and the harness trying to open the triact lock! We made our way out and by the end I was peeling off clothes like I was in Spain!\n<p>\nA very cool bit of SRT bolted for me & setup for the future, but unfortunately a very different trip experience for everyone else. (Tom's space blanket shelter is apparently quite amazing though!\n<p>\n<b> Lara's Note: It was a very entertaining SRT day for me. I hung at the top of Radagast with a great view of Aidan bolting. This also meant I participated in some extended rope based ballet. Aidan and I balanced on one ledge, both connected to two ropes, trying not to topple the other person off. Aidan beautifully bolting a rebelay and then getting stuck on it was also good stuff. </b>\n<p>\n<b> Tom's Note: Whoever rigged the entrance series should be shot.

A couple of slippery climbs down and we reached a pitch that had been surveyed but obviously by much more ballsy cavers than ourselves so we bolted it and rigged the approx. 13m pitch. I got to place my first bolt ever!!! It was very exciting, and I loved it. We had some flapjack and layered up for some surveying. We began surveying down to two QMAs passed the Oxbow. Down to the left was steep and needed rigging so we opted for the right which was down climbable. It resulted in another pitch below but with a slippery \"Banana skin\" like mud just in front so PROCEED WITH CARE. When we looked up the pitch we could see that we could make a loop closure!! and as first time expo novices this is quite fun! (and spoiler, loop closure all meets on the survey). We had a peek down another lead we anticipate to join the stream way below the pitch and the plan is to return on Saturday to descend the pitches and continue surveying.\n<p>\nAidan's Note: Unfortunately there was a loop closure error of 13%. :( A week and a half later I have learnt the SAP 5's reference point is different to where I thought it was which explains that.

"text": "Hello Y\u2019all,\n<p>\nSo, you may have noticed I have been eating, so I am slightly less of my normal Grump\u2026 The phrase 'type 2 fun' gets thrown around often when discussing caving, where an activity that is not enjoyable at the time becomes enjoyable in retrospect. As it stands today, I am desperately hoping that I will say the same after being your expedition leader.\n<p>\nI am joking, of course. This is my third year now on the CUCC expedition after first hearing about it many many years ago when I was a shy fresher in DUSA, and so it really has been an honor to be able to give something back to the cause that gave me so much over the years. I won\u2019t lie, it has been tough at times though, especially when some of you seem allergic to opening your emails or turning up to meetings!\n<p>\n<p>\n<p>\n<p>\n<p>\n<p>\nI sometimes think of Expo as some weird Tolkienesque Lord of the Rings marathon. We are all here for what normally is five weeks of some rather adventurous and testing environments but as he said, \nRoads go ever ever on,\nOver rock and under tree,\nBy caves where never sun has shone,\nBy streams that never find the sea.\n<p>\nI am merely one very small cog in the clockwork. I have often struggled to find a word to describe us, and I think 'dysfunctional family' is definitely the best one; though that would make me the Mummy, so maybe not.\n<p>\nTo quote Isaac, \u201cAre we like the Gemsa? Gracefully making their way across the plateau. They have adapted themselves to a hospitable environment, ensuring they prosper. They are hardy, agile. Or are we like the bunde? Steadfast and reliable. Yes, it can be prickly and rough if you force yourself against it, but also a valued handhold of support. An appreciated sight when traversing the airy segments of the plateau.\u201d\n<p>\n<p>\nIn all seriousness, I am actually incredibly proud of what we have achieved this year. We have a brand-new tarp in a camp that is barely being used, we have a too-small tarp in a camp that\u2019s being used too much and expanded above its capacity. We have a new communications system in its Alpha phase, with the possibilities of 24/7 communications and wifi! New drills that actually can do more than three holes, and of course a ridiculous amount of gear. 2024 has definitely had its challenges, from illness to a smaller team at the start rigging what are now two very deep caves, but we ever push forward to our main goal: to connect to the Dashstein.\n<p>\nWe are all exploring one of the last final frontiers. We have seen and explored places no person has ever seen in the history of humanity, and we are building on what is nearly 50 years of experience and work of this expedition. \nAustria is not like the five caving regions of the UK: Wales, Derbyshire, Yorkshire, Scotland, and Portland. So, I encourage everyone to tread carefully. Do not go gentle, however, into that good night, but check every crevice, A, B, and C lead and then come back for a Gosser.\n<p>\nI may not act like it or I hide it well, but I am genuinely proud of everyone here in front of me today and what we have achieved. \nGodspeed to you all in our endeavors, both here in Austria and in your lifes themselves.\n<p>\nYours in Caving, \nJono",

"text": "<p>On the day of expo dinner a rag-tag group of cavers gathered under the tatty hut tarp. These cavers were all here for all the wrong reasons. Firstly, supreme leader and trip planner Marie had bailed on caving in preference of washing her undersuit. Next we have Wassil who was both procrastinating his masters thesis and feeling sorry for himself about killing his own lead. Finally we have Dickon who decied to go on a caving expedition despite hating caving, and as a result elected do go canyoning. Proceeding the formation of this glorious trio, Chi decided to show his face following a disasterous camping trip which did not result in a camp occurring and was at a lost end. Apparently Marie, Wassil, and Dickon looked like a suitable group to go canyoning with and somehow they decided Chi would be a suitable accomplice.</p>\n<p>\n<p>Despite waking up at nine at and leaving at ten, Marie somehow managed to faff for two hours. As a result of the \"rush\" to get ready, the route description of the canyon selected the night before was not studied (although perhaps she should not have been given full responsability of the organisation given it was her third ever canyoning trip). After three pit stops for hats, spanners and post-canyoning hummus (not respectively - the order and combination will be left as an exercise to the reader), Marie was no longer looking like the faffiest on the trip. Unfortunately, the blame shifted back to Marie when Dickon had to drive for an undisclosed period of time down the road to get signal to download the route description so that we knew what was in store.</p>\n<p>\n<p>As Dickon was dealing with Marie's mess, Chi put on his wetsuit and his wetsocks. Unfortunately, the ordering was sub-optimal and required modification. This would require an elongated period of nudity, which would expose the hoardes of cyclists to Chi's own manhood. Furthermore, flashing Dickon would have shifted the group dynamics such Marie and Wassil would feel like they were third and fourth wheeling.</p>\n<p>\n<p>On the walk up, group bonding was achieved by Wassil's sharing of his deep fear of small wet holes, which he tried to confront by entering such a hole (drainage pipe under rode). Apart from that, nothing of any interest happened on the walk up. We reached the top of the canyon when we decided that we were sick of walking next to the streamweay and dropped into it.</p>\n<p>\n<p>As a result of having forgotten everything written in the guide (we had a little group reading session), the canyon was a constant stream of surprises. This lack of knowledge inhibited our ability to jump, thus forcing us to resort to abseiling instead. At one particular waterfall, Wassil abseiled first (he does in fact not like water that much). Chi then inquired as to the depth the pool, to which Wassil answered \"two meters\", actually meaning \"at least two meters\". The truth is, Wassil is scared of deep water and did not really want want to dive further than 20cm.</p>\n<p>\n<p>The canyon proceeded with a set of interesting but technical pitches including a double-waterfall with a built in hypothermia-inducing whirlpool and enormously high traverse line which prevented Marie's exit from the aformentioned pool. Upon being being dragged out of the pool, Marie was no longer dying of hypothermia. The second stage of the double waterfall was comprised of what looked like a jump but was deemed too stupid for even Chi to attempt. In order to navigate this safely one had to abseil to about 3m off the water and then free-fall. Wassil did not get the message, resulting a in his elbow being smashed on a small ledge. He seemed quite sad about this and required a series of group cuddle sessions to stave off hypothermia in his short wetsuit (why would you canyon in a short wetsuit? - Wassil argues that an undersuit and oversuit remedies this. It does not.)</p>\n<p>\n<p>The next few pitches were far simpler and did not claim any further injuries. We did however, stay quite cold and began to desire the end of the trip. En-route we discovered various excavator parts strewn across the canyon and eventually reached the main river. After a brief walk back to the car, houmous feast and faff, Dickon decided that the bridleway signs were clearly intended for motorised vehicles, much to the dismay of literally everyone else, including pedestrians. Three cyclists showed their gratitude in the form of various facial expressions and during our adventure we passed through an interesting tunnel and multiple bridges which did not appear suited for a car of four. Despite the passengers' protests, Dickon did not turn around and was adamant that his \"route\" was faster. It would transpire that his \"route\" was in fact 6 minutes faster and we all made it to the expo meal on-time.</p>",

I was not a fan at all and took a very roundabout way around. It started raining towards the end and we made a dash to the car. My Achilles heel is playing up which is quite hard on the plateau!

"text": "<p>My adopt-a-cave for this year was GMH (Guten Morgon H\u00f6hle), having\nfailed to sort it out last time I was here in 2022. And this was the\nlast day available to get it done, so research was done down at base\nto make sure I had the necessary info - email threads, purported\nlocations, cave descriptions, lobbook entries, GPX tracks, and\nMartin's 'mappapp' local copy (ish) of the website. And I went\nshopping for stainless screws and HSS bits so we could put in tags,\nand had drills, and instruments. We tried hard not to forget anything\nimportant so this would actually work.</p>\n<p>\n<p>The weather was a rare case of a bit overcast, but not actually\nraining, which is perfect for this work. It warmed up later in the day\nbut was relatively gentle on us, which is good because we walked for\nbloody miles!</p>\n<p>\n<p>Tromped past Balkony following vague line of cairns, checking the\npoints on our map. Checkout 2023-ASH-10 and 2023-ASH-11 which defo\nlook worth investigating. Then got\nto <a href=\"/1623/2012-OK-01/2012-OK-01.html\">2012-OK-01</a> which\nis of course one of mine, from the fabled 'Wook and Olaf walk to\nAppelhaus' trip of 2012. There were a couple of obvious shafts which\nwe photoed, but they didn't fit my recollection of OK-01 which was a\nsmaller shaft under an alcove. Soon we found the right hole just 6m\naway, but not obvious due to being 'tucked under' a small cliff.</p>\n<p>\n<p>We put in a new concrete-screw tag for \"2012 OK 01\", only to find\nit already tagged just round the corner as\n<a href=\"/1623/2017-NR-02/2017-NR-02.html\">2017-NR-02</a>. So in fact\nit has been explored, tagged, located, photoed and sketch-surveyed for\n7 years, so we can kataster this one.</p>\n<p>\n<p>Next we passed 2012-OK-02 which still needs descending so far as we\ncan tell. Easy job. We put our cave-blinkers back on in an attempt to\nactually get the job we intended to do done. Wook had carefully put\nthe alleged GPS of GMH on his phone (neither it nor shagged-spit was\nin the 2024 entrances list). The back-up plan was that Anthony had\nbeen there before a mere decade ago so could hopefully re-find\nthem. Fortunately the GPS was spot-on for the GMH entrance, which had\na nice tag saying <a href=\"/1623/2015-DL-02/2015-DL-02.html\">\"2015\nDL 02\"</a> so one wonders quite how \"Chossy Death Slope H\u00f6hle\" got\nrenamed and no-record of this correspondence made it into a logbook. A\nshort wander up-cliff found the\nalso-tagged <a href=\"/1623/2015-DL-01/2015-DL-01.html\">2015 DL\n01</a> (Shagged Spit H\u00f6hle). We GPSed (GPS on the eponymous shagged\nspit for about 40 mins) and photoed that location whilst also doing a\n 'from-the-surface' SAP6 survey.</p>\n<p>\n<p>So now both 2015-DL-01 and 2015-DL-02 are explored, located,\nphotoed, tagged and surveyed sufficiently to get\nkatastered. Result. Job done.</p>\n<p>\n<p>Time was moving on and we had a dinner to get back to this evg so\nwe headed back, looking\nfor <a href=\"/1623/2012-dd-04/2012-dd-04.html\">2012-dd-04</a> on the\nway back. Despite our best efforts we stumbled onto an entrance too\nfine to ignore and so spent 40 mins GPSing, tagging and surveying\n(from the surface) <a href=\"/1623/2024-JC-01/2024-JC-01.html\">2024-JC-01</a>. (See how the wiley old lags carefully\nmade this one Jacob&apos;s responsibility :-) It&apos;s quite a big\nhading shaft entrance about 12m x 2m with a 4m cliff behind and at\nleast 17m deep. There was a nice boulder for a survey station but it\nlooked a bit dodgy and a shove sent it crashing down the hole so we were\nwise not to use that one. Tag is to LH end of the hole. GPS point and\nintermediate point are red nail-varnish marked.</p>\n<p>\n<p>dd-04 was a tiny bit elusive, although Anthony&apos;s GPS took him\nnearly straight there whilst Wookey&apos;s took him 20m away just the\nwrong side of a ridge and then he was marooned by bunde for a while,\nbut eventually re-found the others. jacob had shoved himself into the\nhole but it was about 1.5 cavers long and thus not big enough to be\nkatasterable. We tagged it anyway.</p>\n<p>\n<p>Now it really was time to hot-foot it home so we headed back,\npassing the (tagged) caves 277, 272 and 2012-FT-02. There really are\nquite a lot of holes round here.</p>\n<p>\n<p>Anthony and I collected the rest of our shit and we all headed\nbriskly down the hill for the final time this year, which was good\nbecause I really did have quite sore feet by the end of the day after\nmore than 7km of that ridiculous pointy terrain. We even arrived in\ngood time for Tess to rescue us and take us to a fine dinner</p>",

So, armed with Shinwell and Wookeys expert guidance, we set off to find what we were hoping was going to be an impressive chamber. \n<p>\nThe walk started off simply, and we soon found the bolt to mark the divergence from the official paths. The route description got us up to the Bunters Bulge, with the absence of any red markings mentioned. From here, the red markings were still not present, but there is a smattering of cairns to lead the way. A small amount of being lost later, and we were scrambling down to the original entrance, an impressively large entrance. The scramble towards Elephant entrance was helped by some stemples, and we soon found ourselves in the frigid draft, looking at a snow plug. \n<p> \nKitted up with ice axes and crampons, we headed down the snow slope and into the Schneevulkanhalle. Wow, just Wow... The chamber itself would be impressive enough, but the ice formations were incredible. We wandered around and spent some time photographing the place. Some scrambling around, we found various pools of water in the glacier which we decided to not fall into. The far end of the chamber had an impressive false floor, which i walked over to to go underneath it, but was stopped by the ice under my feet sounding quite hollow, so I noped out of there. The next adventure was Harry and I climbing up the snow volcano, with Aila looking on disapprovingly at the Boys being Morons. I stopped half way up, deciding that it was quite steep. Harry, with less of a sense of self preservation, made it to the top, and some more photos were taken. Harry had a fun time coming down, the only time I've heard him admit to being scared.\n<p>\nAfter this, we headed back, creating a GPX track to make it easier for future expoers to find.

The pitch was drippy with a few re-belays required. Unsure of how passable pitch will be in wet weather. Some 'fuck no's from Aidan when bolting as the wall made some dull noises when hit with a hammer. Whilst Aidan was bolting myself and James M tried out our opera singing skills with a range of languages. We initially descended down the left side of the pitch as it was drier but there was not an obvious way down to the streamway so Aidan went to bolt in the other direction. Whilst he was doing this I tried to climb down via a few routes however overcommitted and got myself jammed in a rift for a good while. Lengths of pitches were recorded and a couple of extra bits of survey data was collected to solidly connect our surveying from a few days ago to the main data. Aidan is to explore Banana Boat Stream way with James M and Colin on Monday.",

"place": "Homecoming",
"other_people": "",
"text": "I was so excited to go back into Homecoming after six years, and Harry promised caverns measureless down Watershed. A camp was needed to make it more pleasant, so off we went with sleeping bags and mats. Faff ensued, with Aila breaking her toe at Garlic, and us having picked the wrong sleeping bag up, We got underground at middayish in the end.\n<p>\nThe entrance series flew by, and I was having a great time reminiscing. Soon we headed up the small pitch into Propane Nightmares, and pressed on through the crawling (I had been promised minimal crawling), down and up some pitches and climbs, until we got to a patch of mud (I had also been promised no mud.) Not long after this, we got to Strained by Gravity. \n<p> \nAt the bottom of this epic pitch series, I saw Harry and Ailas lights disappear down a passage, so I headed to it, finding a traverse that Aila would not have done without loud complaining, so I turned back. Chi told me that the way on was down below, so I opted to climb down an alternate way. Suddenly, my head was below my feet, and I tumbled 3m down a climb, landing on a bouldery floor. A distinct amount of swearing occurred whilst I tried to figure out what was broken. Chi rounded a corner at speed, highly concerned about my wellbeing. Rescue from here would not be fun. Although I was in a not insignificant amount of pain, nothing seemed to be broken, Chi fed me some sweets, and we pressed on. \n<p>\nThe traverses were alright for my long legs, but Ailas short legs didn't enjoy them at all. We soon got to Camp, and set up the tent and sleeping bags. It was less than ideal, but we could squeeze in four. Then it was back up the pitch to start down Flowstone Canyon (thrutchy and awkward), Alpine Showers (traversy and awkward) and down some pitches (with awkward pitchheads) to the pushing front. \n<p>\nChi set about bolting a traverse whilst Harry, Aila and I got the surveying kit out, finding a numbered station. The disto was produced, and I started to get ready to shoot the first leg, but noticed that the Disto was in calibration mode. Shit. We tried to get it into the proper mode but nothing we did worked. Double shit. \n<p>\nWe deliberated on what to do, and finally settled on scooping and then coming back to survey at a later date. Aila was trained in surveying, with Harry showing her how to take notes, and me making up numbers, leading to a very odd cave. Chi dropped a pitch, which I followed him down, but the bottom led to more pitch, so Aila and I decided to head to camp. It was a long slog back to camp, and we arrived at 2330. Some pasta was had, and we turned in. Harry and Chi came back at 0100, and told us they'd dropped some more pitches and killed the lead. Arse. All that for nothing. \n<p> \nThe next morning, we slowly got ready, dismantling camp. It was going to be a long slog up, and starting on the traverses was a tiring way to start. Strained by Gravity went by vaguely quickly, and soon we stopped to fill up bottles and have noodles. We got up the entrance series relatively quickly and exited finally around 1730 on the 28th. Not the best trip, but no one died. I'm sure there will be other trip reports for this trip.",

"place": "Homecoming",
"other_people": "",
"text": "With James having replaces his mentor in our trio of pushing in the upper area of Homecoming, Rosa and I returned to our pushing in the big drippy Aven in the 4th Pitch Tube area which we believed would lead to what we were looking down to from Banana Slip. \n<p>\nRosa placed the first bolt for the traverse line - her second ever bolt! - and I rebolted the pitch head (there were two spit there already but I couldn't find any nuts for them anywhere around HC or GC so lovely new fixe expansions it was! I dropped the 20m pitch down into a fair sized ledge with two ways on - I first opted to go the shorter dryer way with the hope it would connect round to the rest of the big aven, using less bolts and rope. One side of this pitchhead is a drilled thread, the other a lovely bolt. This got down to a perfect end of the 25m rope and lead to a 2m climb.This later turned out to be Snagged and Shagged. There wasn't any clear promising leads here so I left Rosa and James to make the rigging topo for me and explore the area while I went on to continue bolting the pot.\n<p>\nA perfect height pitchead was placed which felt a very reasonably distance from the ledge. Unfortunately, with the nature of the rock there was immediately some pretty shit rope rope. The next 15 minutes was spent trying to figure out how to ameliorate this. Lots of time was spent trying to create a deviation below and right, but nothing was far enough back to fix the hang without then making me abseil straight into a pool of water. While this faff was going on, a rock ((tatty hut little printer sized) which I previously been solidly heel hooking and holding decided to come loose, missing me but being very exciting when it hit the tacklebag and then hitting the deck. I abandoned hopes over here and decided to swing the other way into the drippy aven and found a nice fault for a ledge for my feet so placed a rebelay and then used that to help me swing across to a nice ledge in a dry area where I bolted a traverse across and then rigged a short pitch down to the streamway below.\n<p>\nIt should be noted that while I'm doing this Rosa managed to almost climb down snagged and shagged into the bottom of the pot, except she got stuck and from the walls I could see her light and hear her shout for me to come and help her - not something I was in much position to do so James went to her aid. She also didn't sound like she was in any real peril, just mabe unable to get her way back out so I figured I could always head back up with the drill and rope if it were really necessary.\n<p>\nWe named the pot Tiered Gerkin and the Streamway Bannaboat Streamway at the time, but since then and the time of writing this up we've renamed the pot Saruman. The streamway is unfortunately too short to be worth naming.\n \nNote for clarity: the streamway was too short because it immediately descended into the two pitches that precede the Eye of Sauron.",

Between writing up Logbook entries and swimming in a lake, I defeated all records on all sizes of board. All top 10 on 8x8 are mine, sub 10s, 5s being the top. On 16x16 all 10 records are mine, the best being 46s. No one else has tried the 30x16 board, but my record is 2mins 36s. I throw down the gauntlet to anyone who wants a go. \n<p> \nI am a very sad man with too much time on his hands...",

"text": "I was sold a nice easy surveying trip with a short pootle down a stream way. little did I know how wrong we were. we packed a single drill battery some short ropes and a few hangers just in case a few short drops were encountered. Once underground I was given the guided tour of what was known as the below Radagast series. \n<p>\nJames and I surveyed what we thought was the final pitch while Aidan added a deviation. I complained greatly while surveying much to Aidan's entertainment who had bolted it. Once in the stream way bolting kit was packed up as we prepared for an easy surveying waltz down a stream way. \n<p>\nAidan found another pitch where I asked if I could bolt. Of I went expecting a short pitch nice and easy. I got to a re-belay and started yelling it keeps going as there was another hole below me little did we know how big it actually was. I got to the ledge and started to prepare to abseil into a rift bolted the pitch head and then went why am I doing this walked over to the edge of the ledge to set up a much nicer hang, very scary.\n \nI shouted at James and Aidan that its huge and keeps going and we don't have enough rope. Neither quite realised how big. I kept asking if Aidan wanted a look and he seemed uninterested until I pestered him enough where he promptly looked over the edge where he told us that we didn't realise how cool our find was as we had found a 80m hypo-genic tube. Our 30m rope got barely a 1/3 of the way down. \n<p>\nI was sent out of the cave to tell people of our find and collect food, water bolts, batteries and rope. With eguipment acquired I ran back to homecoming to see the others exiting. Bags were packed flapjack was eaten, cooling down was required and once everything was ready to go I had to try and get a call out. After much hair pulling and phoning round I got a call-out so we were good to go. James had decided he wanted to go back to base which was probably a sensible decision so me and Aidan pushed on. \n<p>\nAidan added an extra bolt to the top of the eye of Sauron where he handed me all the heavy bolting kit in case he needed to prussik out. Our 40m rope which was now down the pitch was still very short so a 30m rope was taken down by Aidan. Much bullying was required to get Aidan to go down the pitch as he was being a wus his words not mine he thanked me alter so its all good. Once the rope was free it was my turn where I was equally terrified but couldn't back down after bullying Aidan down. Descending was relatively straightforward until the knot pass. Doing a knot pass 40m below a pitch head and 20m above the floor makes a simple manoeuvrer terrifying. At the bottom of the pitch Aidan asked me to swing over a boulder where I was like, what do you mean, as I'm hanging in free space. I descended onto solid floor which was a relief where we clambered onto the boulder to make another pitch down into another big chamber with a false floor. \n<p>\nThe new pitch head was bolted with a combination of me and Aidan resulting in lightning bolting. This is where we decided to call the series Welsh Engineering due to all the people bar James, sorry James, were from a Welsh university. At the next pitch another deep hole opens out into nothing where we has high hopes of going deeper than the rest of the cave which was not to be. midway down the next pitch as I was looking for a re-belay. I spied a bolt in front of my face to much confusion and annoyance. I quickly realised I had been here before as I was at the bolt traverse I had pushed with Dickon 2 days before. I proceeded to have a 5 minute tantrum that our lead did a big loop collected myself and dropped to the bottom of the pitch to say I was at the bottom. \n<p>\nThis bottom bit was bolted badly due to my frustration although it is still safe. We promptly called it a day and ran out of the cave trying to conserve energy. Exiting at 11:30. The eye of Sauron is pleasantly easy on the way out even with the knot pass. Resulting in an exit in less than 45 minutes. Once at garlic we clattered around trying to get to bed as quickly as possible waking Adam and disturbing Fiona sorry guys.",

"text": "Having scoped our lead the day before having failed to survey it, sorry Becka we dragged Adam and Fiona down with us to help. the SAP however couldn't do long enough legs so was a mainly pointless exercise. I blasted down to the bottom to re-rig Dickon's traverse so we could exit out of the entrance series for a bit of variety and compare routes. We pointed Adam and Fiona in the directions of the good leads I'd seen while waiting for them to join me at the bottom. \n<p>\nwe then decided to leave by the normal route to end up doing the round trip to do a sporting trip. which is ironic on an expedition. there was much cursing of how bastardly and awkward some of the pitches are. I had all of the bolting kit along with a 40m rope that we had de rigged a couple of days ago so that was a heavy bag resulting in some slow prussiking. I also waited occasionality to tell the others where to go for some of the navigation required. we were out of the cave for 18:00.",

"text": "After scrounging together prospecting gear from Stone Bridge, Nat and I set off north of the Tunnock's col searching for new entrances. Some bunde bashing to a first rocky valley yielded some nice looking holes, but all pinched out after less than 5m. Wandering further along, we found p2013-cucc-pit. Finding no info on this entrance on the website, we assumed it hadn't been dropped yet. Nat rigged a rope on with a sling and 2 hexes, and I abseiled down (approx 8m), past a choked boulder, to the bottom. Unfortunately, it choked with rocks and ice at the bottom.\nFurther along, Nat spotted another hole (2024-ND-01) - I poked my head in, to be hit in the face with a strong draught. Dropping rocks down gave 4-5 seconds of rattle. Nat began gardening the rocks and boulders suspended above the entrance. I came to help, but ended up dropping a boulder into the entrance, blocking it. We then spent the next 2 hours trying to unblock it, with the hammer, and some slings and my pulley. But to no avail. We eventually admitted defeat and decided someone would need to return with a crow bar and lump hammer. \nWe began heading back to Stone Bridge, via the Tunnock's col, feeling hot and grumpy. Part of the plateau disintegrated on me and I twisted my ankle. We slowly continued, and found another good hole (big hole in side of cliff, with horizontal bedding planes - 2024-ND-02), but it was too late in the day and we were too dehydrated to drop. 10m further north, we found another hole (2024-ND-03) and made a note. Made it back to SB, dehydrated, took some vitamin I, and headed down the hill.",

Luckily, the A lead he had dropped it down was above Strained by Gravity, which meant we could get there and out relatively quickly. So off we went! \n<p> \nIt was midday by the time faff and the walk to Homecoming passed, and we were off down the entrance series. It was a bit of time before we got to the corner traverse that we were going to drop down from. I scrambled down the rift to see if it could be climbed, but it ended at a 10m drop. We decided the best point was from the traverse, so Isaac set about bolting whilst Aila and I started to survey. \n<p> \nIt didn\u2019t take long to drop, and soon we were treated to the sound of Isaac whooping and saying \u201cHello my sweet prince!\u201d Reunited with his descender, we set about looking at what was ahead, which was a few spacious chambers (including Cupids Cavern, which has lots of heart shaped formations), and a few rifts here and there. Around one corner was a phreatic tube, which we set about traversing into. Ahead it kept going at roof level, so we went a little way along, before deciding that the survey would have to take precedence. \n<p> \nUnfortunately and fortunately the SAP battery died, and we realised that we were at our turnaround time. So we headed out having surveyed ~100m of passage.",
