Was supposed to be joining some of the TSG guys on a trip down JH, but too much Saturday night beer ensured I didn’t make it.
Headed out to Stoney in the afternoon to do a bit of a solo recon for the Xmas Cave Crawl. After faffing around trying to find a place to park, as everyone seemed to have descended on Stoney Dale to go caving, I headed for the Rubbish Bag entrance of Yoga Cave. Not been down before, but it’s fairly easy to find the way. It’s essentially one long crawl intersected by a few chambers. Did the through trip then headed up the hill to Streaks Cave. This ones only a short’n, you follow the mined rift in for about 15m then climb up some boulders then out through a crawl at the top.
As it was still early I decided to nip through Streaks just to see if there’d been any changes with the digs since we were last down in Jan. No stream until Nervous Breakdown which was surprising and Born Slippy had desumped itself, which is good news. Canal project’s made about a foot of progress. Headed out the lower entrance to complete the through trip. (Mike)
