Watergrove Sough

09/09/15

Took advantage of the dry weather to have a gander down Watergrove Sough as neither of us had yet been (too wet last time we tried), and fancied an easy warm up to get back into the swing of caving again.

Water was nice and low (but cold, very very cold) and we headed upstream to the blockage before turning round and heading back out. Had a quick look downstream and managed to get what felt like a lot further than the ~30m that CoPD says is possible. Would’ve pushed on further but Rob had headed out and I was getting a bit spooked on my own and it started to feel a bit like being at work, so I bailed. Wonder how far you can actually get? Skipped Eyam, and went to the Rose & Crown instead. (Mike, Rob)
