With heavy rain all night and more rain predicted for the next few days, it was time to get the ropes out of the cave!
Tom and Dick went early to clear the bags from the bottom of Aldo's. Alistair, Paul and I joined the group later to help them carry the tackle bags (full of wet rope!) through the Meanders. Every shaft climbed meant something was gained, but also one or two additional tackle bags which our arms were becoming powerless to lift.
Finally we carried all the gear back to the cars - a mere 40 min walk!
The day finished with the SWCC BBQ (the wettest I have ever been to!) and their Award Ceremony (I won one - yay!!).
