Doolin River Cave to Fisherstreet Pot

A cracking cave to start off the weekend... Matt and Gary left early to pre-rig Fisherstreet Pot whilst the rest of us got ready at a leisurely pace. On their return we did a couple of shuttle runs and after a couple of wrong turnings we all made it to the entrance for St. Catherine’s 1. Doolin River Cave is a nice easy stomp through some very pleasant streamway, interlaced with waterfalls, crawly bits and some pretty formations in Smithy’s Grotto. During the dry entrance crawls I was cursing wearing my wetsuit but once we reached water I was glad of it. There was quite a lot of faff in the form of picture-taking but despite that we completed the through trip in around 3 and a half hours (I think). All that remained was the sunny walk back up the hill to the cottage, where we feasted like kings on about a dozen courses of tapas :)
