Bit of a poor turnout for a club trip, but at least some of us made the effort. After a cold walk up we were soon at the Mere entrance, once rigged, we were all soon underground where it was a bit warmer out of the elements. The 4 of us were soon down to 3, as Charles decided to turn round at the start of the second pitch and make his way out as he was'nt feeling to well.
So the remaining 3 of us carried on, once down all the pitches, which were all quite dry as the water levels were very low. All that was left then was a quick blast down to the sump before turning round and making our way back out. Then it was just the pleasure of the freezing cold walk back to the cars
Trip time 4hrs

Not Black Shiver then?

Sorry I couldn't make it - can't afford the time off at the moment

Thought it was Allashorn (sp?)

Glad I didn't go, if Keith thinks it was cold then eek!

You should have a word with your mate Ian Vincent, although not on our trip he did get out caving

cheers Keith
still looking forward to seeing you in 2010

Cheers Keith, beat me to the effort of writing a trip report. Only to add; yeap was cold enough that after waiting at the pitch head the opportunity of going down to the mere and prussiking back to warm up was taken (alothough never took the tackle sack with me). Cheers to all, that made it for a very good yet cold (when not caving) trip.

Sam - Another New years resolution already ticked off - do more YSS trips!

Ian and Mark went to Sell Gill I think. Didn't think they were fit enough to go t Black Shiver since I wasn't going to be there to bring the fitness levels down some more.

2010 is only 50 weekends away.
