Lay-by Pot

30/11/14

Another solo recky for the Christmas Cave Crawl. Not done Lay-by Pot before so thought it would be best to work out the route before we all pile down there in December.

Lobbed the ladder down the shaft (10m works fine) and headed off along the passage at the bottom. A bit of hands and knees through pools leads to a crawl up into a chamber where you then head right and pretty much follow that line all the way out. You pass through a few chambers on the way, the penultimate one being a bit of a surprise as it’s quite large and quite impressive relative to the rest of the cave. A quick climb up the hand lines then brings you up to the bottom of the lower entrance. Fun quick trip. Just Level 7/Hope Shaft to check out now. (Mike)
