"text": "Arriving at top-camp, we are greeted by more ventilation in the tarp, 24 less tea lights and a distinct lack of Harry Kettle.\n<p>\nWith copious amounts of people going to Popper hole and Gruffalo, and James W abandoning me to go camping so I cant go to Bread Recipe Hole. So i decide to tag along with Ash to go to his drafty A lead in KH - Country for Old Men.\n<p>\nAfter arriving at KH, walking half way back to top camp in the rain to find my dropped wellies, then back to KH, we descend the entrance series around 2pm.\n<p>\nWe followed closely behind the other KH group (Lara, Charlot and Russell) to rapton, where our paths diverge. \n<p>\nContinuing further on into Country for Old Men, Ash finishies bolting a muddy slope/pitch while I be useless waiting at the top. After faffing with rope lengths so we are able to return, we eventually move on.\n<p>\nJust before the lead and the Rift of Doom we discover a climb that a hand line is needed to get back up, commence more faffing, we get it rigged.\n<p>\nImmediately after is our drafty hands and knees crawl on the right, which is our A lead.\n<p>\nA few meters in is a pitch that ash gets to rigging, while I have a nosey down the passage towards the rift of doom only noting that there may be a bolt climb a 10-20m further on from our lead, behind you on the left.\n<p>\nDown our lead's 10-15 pitch we get to a muddy slope, where I de-SRT kit and we start surveying.\n<p>\nDown another muddy slope, we find a C-Lead squeeze (killed), a B lead drafting crouching passage (killed -> Drafting (out) Dig (<1/2m, other side visable, probably doable with hands)) and continued along our drafting out A lead up another muddy slope, turn right, then down another muddy slope. A short flat out crawl into lots of upwards crouching passage.\n<p>\nNear the end of our trip we get to a 6 way junction (2 ways connect to 2 other ways so 4 way junction) leaving us with 3 promising ways on (1. Up slope, walking passage, getting bigger, drafting out. 2. Down slope, walking passage, drafting in. And 3. Crawl into a chamber, drafting in.)\n<p>\nSo we tidy up a little and head back for the day, eager to head back tomorrow.\n<p>\nArrival back at top camp at 2am.",
