Boxhead Pot

With the weather being typically wet on the Leck Fell Microclimate system, ropes were packed in the car. We eventually plucked up the courage to venture out and get changed and made our way over to Boxhead.

The entrance is an impressive plastic pipe sticking out of the ground, below which an amazing entrance pitch bellows out - it was a bit drippy but one of the most impressive welcomes to any cave! We quickly got down to the head of the second pitch, which Gary went down. Unfortunately and not unsurprisingly, it was perilously wet and so we retreated out to do a quick venture down Lost Johns instead. Definitely one to return to in better weather.
