Cavers - JonP, ChrisH, JimT & AdamT.

Adam had expressed interest in caving with the club after seeing a video of Cussey on youtube. Jim and I had wanted to venture into the Dynamite Series of Carlswark for sometime and this seemed like a perfect opportunity for a punters trip as Adam lives in Stoney. We all met at the layby and kitted up briefly discussing our objective to Adam. We dropped Flower Pot and I gave them a brief tour of the Dynamite Series to the duck. I went through first trying my best to keep dry in the puddle. Chris followed and got reyt stuck in the squeeze. Head first, down-hill I can only think what Adam thought, Chris now on the verge of panic, Jim had to retrieve his legs whilst I pushed on his head with my feet! Eventually he budged a little each time and was soon back safely in Midnight Chamber. Adam came through next after being reassured which arms to put in which direction. Jimothy followed "fishscales-style" and managed to squirm his way through an inch at time. I went back through to try and persuade Chris to try it feet first, he did but it wasn't going today and vowed to return soon!

Jim, Adam and I made our way out via Eyam Passage whislt Chris de-rigged Flower Pot and met us at the other end. Adam seemed to enjoy himself, hopefully he'll come again if Jim's bants have not put him off.
