Miss Grace's Lane Cave

After a night of stupendous thunder and lightening we woke (did we sleep?) to persistent rain, the Otter Hole team headed off and it was for the rest of us to make a more leisurely start to the day. We headed into Monmouth for breakfast at Wetherspoons and then took the drive down to the cave. We were soon kitted up and rigged the entrance shaft before dropping down into the cave. We took a standard trip into the Spring Fever area of the cave. We headed to the via Dome Chamber and Nurden Hall to reach Canyon Hall where we headed up to look at Phreatic Passage. We made our way back exploring side passages and then a circular route to visit Dog Tooth Chamber.

We headed back to the campsite for showers and a change before we headed out to meet the group at Otter Hole. As we went down the hill we met up with them mid shower at the bathtub.

Present: Jess Burkey, Mark Burkey, Matthew Maylin and Brendan Marris.
