We headed up to the JH entrance with some unusual additional caving gear with us, most of which didn’t survive beyond the entrance pitch!

The trip took the usual route down to the Speedwell streamway, where we found a section that is usually too deep to touch the bottom, but has silted up so much that it is now ankle depth.

We made a detour into Pit Props passage because none of us had been there before, which was a nice if excessively muddy little side trip! We then headed out via Colostomy, which is just as bad, if not worse, than I remember it being!
