Sunday morning saw me, Mark,
Marc and Brendan back at the Priddy Good Farm shop for breakfast, this time
with Chloe and Mark BURG… The plan was to go into GB, so we picked up a key
from the Wessex. Marc and Mark BURG…
hadn’t been into GB before and were amazed how spacious it is compared to the
caves we had explored the day before.
We followed the usual round
trip route (apart from Mark who ended up climbing up the waterfall by
mistake??) and explored every nook and cranny en route to the ladder
extensions. Once Mark had rigged the
ladder, we all climbed up and were soon at the unpleasant duck. The water in
this was fairly low, not enough to drown even Brendan, but enough to wet us all
through thoroughly. Once through we started looking for the way up into the
Great Hall. Brendan pointed out the
route, and while Mark went up the alternative overhanging climb, the rest of us
did our best to push through the tight squeeze up into the huge chamber, with
mixed success. A quick explore and photo of the chamber and it was time to head
back down and onwards to Bat Passage.
This passage never fails to
wow as it is immensely pretty, with pristine white formations. It is a real
shame that some of these have muddy handprints on, and we discussed coming back
on another date for a cleaning session.
On the way out of the cave
some photos were taken in the main chamber, and then we were all out in good
time for the drive home.
