This photo was taken on the trip that first used the Bosch GBH24 drill to place a number of bolts which made the takeoff a great deal easier (though still a bit of a shock to the system at the start of a day's caving, at least the exit, when knackered, is somewhat less daunting). <br><font size=-1>Photo © , 19</font> <!-- Photo scanned on Coolscan, 1997.08.xx, AERW --> <hr /> <!-- LINKS --> <div id="photomenu"> <ul> <li><a href="../pixrh.htm#boltp1">Visual tour of 161</a></li> <li><a href="../bsains.htm#id161a">Back to cave description</a></li> </ul> </div> </body> </html>
