The second day of DCC Yorkshire weekend started in inglesport cafe where we had a bite to eat to ready ourselves. We decided on small mammal pot. Once we located the entrance covered with botched together bits of wood, a short crawl leads to the first pitch with a short belay down, the way on is a small hole off to the right then you come to a bedding plane where a climb up leads you to a flat out crawl and my srt kit got caught on every rock in there I’m sure.Then a slippery slide down greasey slab. Onto the top of the final pitch, which I must say loz did an excellent job of rigging.
Once back on solid rock we carried on for a short while, we were heading for gaping gill.
So into sandy crawls we went a lot of crawling with some stooping passage and the odd place to stretch your back out. We were rewarded for all our efforts when we came to main passage in gaping gill - it was breathtaking. The roaring waterfalls, so loud we couldn’t hear each other.
Time to head home so we returned back up the ropes and come out to a very dark and windy. We started slogging back down towards Clapham.
