A somewhat larger group than of late gathered at Bull Pot: Sophie, Ed, Jason, Helen, Andy J and Dave (a caver on his 2nd jaunt with the club). Neither Ed, Dave nor Andy had seen the Colonnades and so we took a detour to start the trip. At the muddy slope heading down towards Skittle Alley, a decision was made to only extend the trip a short way due to estimations of time to exit the cave. (There were protestations of unfit-ness from various members of the team). We slid down the awkward (in ascent) slopes and made our way through a few squeezy bits before returning to the Graveyard. Everyone exited in good style and no-one minded the wait as it was a glorious balmy evening with an amazing number of stars and satellites.

The Graveyard project...
Indeed, a good trip. For those curious about the funnels we noticed in the Graveyard, if you go here: http://www.rrcpc.org.uk/easegill/index.htm and follow the Lancaster Hole link (on the sidebar), then the hyperlink to 'The Graveyard Series' and finally 'Graveyard Project', you will find all you could want to know about them !
