With the poor weather forecast, there was no hope of doing the meets list trip of Rat Hole. No one was keen to walk up to Gaping Gill either. So we ended up with two trips in Gavel and one in It's A Cracker.
Apparently the It's A Cracker trip was a bit damp and cleaned their oversuits really well.
Ros, Lynn, Paul & Dave went straight to Gavel Pot where I rigged the entrance and the traverse into Short Drop. We then rigged the other two pitches down to Glasfurd's Passage and went to look at the newly opened section of passage.
Charlotte, Ellie & Josh entered via Short Drop, rigged the pitch as a pull through and derigged the traverse into Gavel. They met us as we were leaving Glasfurd's Passage. They said the route through from Short Drop was a bit damp and they wouldn't want to do it with much more water! They had a look at the old section as well as the recently opened section before heading out.
Time: 3 or 4 hours
