DYO

It was Loz's trip to get familiar with the Dali's Delight series of the cave. Water level in the Lake 2 & 3 were lower than usual, barely a belly level. Getting through the cave was straight forward following fairly know route. On the way there Loz had a look into the entrance pool to the Mazeways only to realise that it was completely open, but we proceeded to our objective. We found the climb to the Dali's Delight more of an SRT that the anticipated handline but we were geared up for it so once we were all up there the exploration begun. We proceeded left passed the Mini Pinnacles to the Chamber Pot where we turned around and went looking for the Tubeways. We also looked into another side passage that spat us out half way up an aven with the 12m drop below (unrigged) and slightly suspiciously looking rope hanging from the ceiling (some 15m above us), not knowing the age of this rigging we decided to leave it until next time. The Tubeway passage also presented us with more ''active'' leads, ropes hanging from above and another one going down few small pitches. We explored what was sensible and turned around with enough time to visit the Mazeways - what a spectacular part of the cave, scalloping even better then the in the Bakerloo Straight.
