Bull Pot

Attendace: Horus, Model A

Being unemployed is really hard work, means I get the chance to go caving This is one that Solomon done so I felt like using my spare time to go adventure it, Its the second cave iv had to endure SRT other than Alum Pot, really great cave, apparently rated at 3 I thought different as it was very tight in place's and was quite difficult to move around connecting and disconnecting.

Top of the Cave, reaching down to a 10m pitch, unfortunately there was other people down in the cave so we couldn't use the anchors that we wanted to, So we had to make a awkward deviation to decent.

As you can see it was pretty tight to move around, took me sometime to find a place to set my camera up to get at least one picture from this area.

Looking down to the 4th pitch, 8m down through a tight passage way, makes it more difficult when carrying camera bag + a bag full of rope, It did open up at the bottom where we met the other group coming out.

This was the biggest abseil in the cave system, reaching at 16m and 2 deviations, getting down wasn't the problem as you gravity on your side, climbing back up was a different story, the bag containing 70 meters of rope and the camera back was now dripping wet, giving it an increasing weight to haul up.

Before adventuring to the last pitch there was a passageway leading off, pretty tight in these area's to it was hard to set camera up again, managed to get some pictures though

Part 6

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get pictures of the bottom where the sump was, we had to go through a very tight passageway with what states a 10m drop below us, strangely we used a 50m rope on this and just managed to get at bottom, it was so tight I was unable to even move my head round so the camera bag had to stay at Part 5

Hope you enjoyed viewing and reading
