Wookey Hole, Mendip

18th February 2016: with Jake, Tav and Duncan P.

As usual a steady trip up through Chamber 20 to continue the good works at the bottom of the rift. Last weeks effort had done as required and the jammed rock was gone, unfortunately it’s remains were lying at the top of the next climb down, a drop of c.4m, and will need clearing away, a job for next session. Back at the now wider constriction Tav set about loading skips while I drilled a few more hole to make the access and movement of debris/skips even more easy. Job done we made our way out for debriefing session at the Hunter’s Lodge Inn. Not going to apply any rock engineering technology next week and will concentrate on clearing and dropping the next climb to assess our next moves.
