Actually, Fleur, Laura and guest Lou - a rare girls only trip underground.
A quick jolly down the pitches in cow pot before an early departure on a Sunday. With my third visit in the last year or so I remembered better all the rigging details and was hopefully fairly efficient. Main points of note were losing Laura twice (once on the way in and once of the way out) between the two pitches; rescuing a baby lizard from the climb down; Lou choosing the hanging rebelay on fall pot (of course) to get in a bit of a tangle. Fall pot as spectacular as ever. Easy exit since leaving the cave rigged for the the through trippers hence soon back at the farm for tea and cake. Yum.
