<div class="triptitle">Garlic - Dropped gear at garlic and setup meshtastic</div>
I set out to drop my gear at Garlic and setup some fixed nodes to test the meshtastic radios. We dropped the first radio at the Col, up the slope to the left as use enter the plateau. It was carefully hidden in a bunde. AT this point I set out for Garlic Cave while Jono and Isaac headed to Stone Bridge.
As we walked along, Jono and I chatted back and forth confirming the radios worked on the plateau and had the range to be useful. Finally, I arrived at Garlic Cave and dropped a fixed node above the cave and descended to look over the solar system. Meanwhile Jono setup a surface node at Stone Bridge.
From inside each location, we were able to chat back and forth. No more need to leave the comfort of a sleeping bag to plan the day!
The Garlic solar system seems OK, pressing the green button enable the voltmeter and it showed about 14.5 volts.The USB A chargers are odd, the 1A ones seem to charge my phone, the 2.5A ones didn't. My cigarette adapter USB A charger worked OK, but it felt a bit fiddly in the socket.
At this point I headed for the Col, hoping to find the radio we thought James lost, since we saw it reporting a position on the Col-Garlic path. After a while James emerged from Homecoming and started chatting. We learned the radio was at homecoming and was reporting its location wrong. A mystery for another day. I was at the Car park by around 2130 and Jono and Isaac mode it back a little while later.

<div class="triptitle">Rebolt/Rig Tunnocks Entrance Pitch</div>
<br /><br />Headed off to Tunnocks with 200m of 11mm, a substantial pile of hangers, slings, krabs, Hiltis, drill, drill battery... so it took a while. I headed down with the intention of fettling the rig so that we could have more than one person on the pitch at a time without kicking rubble on each others heads.
<br /><br />Jess sat on the surface and sunbathed for a bit (apart from when it was hailing). I put in a new rebelay that neatly avoided the passing hailstones, then spent ages trying to work out where I was going to put bolts in for the next bit since it was clearly going to be scary and hard. Eventually found a way to put in a particularly airy rebelay (that Jess later enjoyed). Managed to wrap myself round the rope multiple times in the process, so spent 40 minutes untangling myself, then descended landing on the lower end of the first boulder slope as intended.
<br /><br />Jess joined me and I proceeded to rig a traverse to the head of the next drop, making use of a pre-drilled Hilti hole and an existing Hilti. By this time we were running out of time so headed out.

<br /><br />Joe on his 3rd day of looking for 107. This time armed with a text message from Wookey at the computer, sent @ 3am, saying to find Wookey's caving gear stash and thus 148, then 107 was 120m away on 220(degrees). Unfortunately this was copied from an aven drag <i>from 107</i>, not <i>to 107</i>, so was backwards. Thus Joe &amp; Aled spent about 3 hrs looking in the wrong place until Wookey arrived from base camp with a map. Armed with correct info 83 was quickly found (has a spit but no tag) and thus 107.

<br /><br />Finally got underground around 3pm. 107 is a nice cave &amp; O+J get full marks for documentation (rigging guide + desc + QMs + survey). Rigging and route-finding went well. Joe shinned the ropeless traverse without gear. Aled followed with T-sacks before realising that <b>a)</b> this was foolish &amp; <b>b)</b> he needed to come back &amp; give Wookey hangers for rigging. Short period of excitement was survived.
<br /><br />Rigged down to Ropefree before going home. Cave is v. cold due to strong draught throughout. Bring woolies!

<div class="triptitle">Balkonh&ouml;hle - Turtlehead passage</div>
<br /><br />After the amazing pushing the day before, we returned to the Far Side to continue exploring starting with an A lead a few meters up a climb in the roof of one passage. (This was Holly's favourite looking lead). Climbing up, Andy placed the first station on a knob of rock in exactly the right place to resemble a turtles head - hence the name (it's not a crude reference). Passage continued draughtily until we hit a total choke - draught was very strong &amp; cold here. There was one possible good lead here - a draughting slot climb up next to the choke - with a black void visible above.
<br /><br />Returning to near the start of Turtlehead a side lead led off, &amp; it was soon apparent that this was another major passage. Stomping up led to another excellent lead for next year - an ~8m climb up (free climbable with difficulty - needs bolting as a pitch probably). At the top are 2 x ongoing passages in similar proportions with big draught A++. Round the corner was a huge pitch - A grade lead - but maybe a bit drippy. Passage then ran back south, parallel to the one we'd just come up, &amp; we ended this at a drippy free climb. Becka &amp; RobW had come in to look at other leads &amp; they took over this climb lead after other leads crapped out.
<br /><br />Another excellent trip - 340m today &amp; the cave is now close to Flying High in Tunnocks. Plenty of A grade leads left for next year.
