A great night out with the Eldon. Katie Eavis has been super about coordinating trips out on Tuesdays. On the 1st of Feb 2022 six of us went down to explore Water Icicle Close Cavern in Monyash. On this trip the cast of characters were Katie, Brendan, John, Bernie,  Hal and Victoria. I took our 5 gas meter with us-I’m still getting used to it but all readings were in acceptable ranges. See the photo.

We were happy to get out of the predictably cold and wet weather into the warmth of the cave. We all explored the Northwest passage and slogged through the wet mud. In the North passage Katie, John, Brendan and Hal went into a few side squeezes to see what was there and Bernie and I hung tight. We went until we reached the mud choke. This trip did not take us into the gated section but Katie made a quick trip up the ladder to check the gate was locked. All was good. It is always nice to take your time to look around in Water Icicle. It’s a recommended trip.

Afterward we made it to the Bulls Head in Monyash. As the Conservation Officer for the DCA I had the pleasure of awarding Katie a £50 Starless River Voucher for her submission of a Cave Monitoring Form from a previous trip in 2021.
