Waterwheel Swallet
Well, that was nice - never been there before. Went with usual suspects - Jude, Adrian, Geoff, Rich, Charlotte, Stu, Fi and new guy called Andy. Getting too many of us Wed night cavers now, so next week we'll probably do a two parter down Swildons.
Geoff removed the bung for us so it was nice and full of water - I balked at the canal/duck (I'm *sure* it's the cold hitting me that causes that panic feeling) but it was no problem at all when following people. Makes me glad Jesus asks us to follow him, he doesn't just push us out in front...
Down to bottom, right to end with Fi, one at a time: it gets narrower and narrower and more and more full of water (somehow neither 'shallower' nor 'deeper' describes that adequately) and then you get to a point where you think - if I keep going, I can't get back. So you peer at the little eyelet and stop.
Coming out, Ade had put the bungs in and it was a different cave. And not as interesting. And we made it to the pub by ten past 9 (doubt we were underground more than an hour, hour and a half.)
