A couple of quick trips round Christmas time
- Caves attempted:
Haytime Hole
- Date:

- Estimated time underground:
- 2hrs
- Present:
Kathryn and I decided to stop off in Yorkshire very briefly for a quick trip on the way from her parents to mine. Haytime Hole is a quick and easy cave, although the climb down below the first pitch is collapsing quite badly. After another rifty pitch.climb there's a pleasant enough streamway, a couple of larger chambers and an oxbow enabling a little round trip to be done.
Coniston Copper Mines
- Date:
- 29/12/10
- Estimated time underground:
- 1hr
- Present:
Another visit to Coniston, this time to the 'Back Strings' entrance: the upper entrance from which the through trip begins. We couldn't get very far though because we didn't have the right gear and it was all a bit on the rickety side. Some of the copper deposits were nice though.
oh yes, Haytime Hole!
ReplyDeleteI went there with Mark, who promptly jacked at the mere sight of the climb :)
