Out and about with Dudley Caving Club

Some trips and events which took place in October, November and December 2002

Ogof Cynnes, Llangynidr, South Wales
Saturday 5th October 2002

To slightly misquote the UK Caves Database site: "Muddy, small passages, muddy, complex and just plain muddy! For best results avoid it but if you will insist, it is best to contact another caving club."

Stuart glad to be out.

Clive Copper Mine, Clive, Nr. Wem, North Shropshire
Sunday 20th October 2002

A MCRO rescue practice with SCMC.  An ambitious scenario for the number of members who turned up involving two casualties, tight crawls and pitch hauling.

Present:  DBo, KE, AS & GS

OFD 2, Penwllyt, Powis
Saturday 9th November 2002

Jim came out of retirement for this trip to Moonlight Chamber and surrounding passages.  We then dropped down out of Cross Rift and visited Lugubrious Passage, popping back up at Shatter Pillar.  Very nice passage that we don't often visit.

Notts Pot II, Leck Fell, Yorkshire
Sunday 17th November 2002

A scaffolded entrance shift which has to be seen to be believed, a fantastic streamway and decorations second to none make a trip into Notts II a caver's dream.  Highly recommended.  Thanks to Pendle Caving Club for letting us join their trip.

Wharf and Hillocks Mines, Derbyshire
Sunday 29th December 2002

We were put off by the CO2 warning on the lid of Water Icicle and so decided on Wharf Mine instead.  We used our 45m rope for the entrance shaft and got to the bottom with only a few centimetres to spare.  Unfortunately we had no rope for the next pitch so had to re-surface and mess about in Hillocks.
