Discoverers Club in Swildons Hole









A long but thoroughly worthwhile day out yesterday for the Discoverers Club. We headed to Mendip and explored the entrance series of Swildons Hole. It was a touch wetter that we anticipated so rather than heading to the abseil we left the stream way and climbed up and around the dry routes. Superb effort, particularly by those who had not been caving before!

Great trip in Bakers Pit









We were a few students short with injuries or other appointments, but those that went out had a brilliant trip down Bakers Pit. We explored a significant amount of passage way and got thoroughly muddy in the process.

Great trip down Bakers






Yesterday we had a brilliant trip down Bakers Pit with the Discoverers Club. We found lots of squeezes to tackle and speleothems to view, making a circuit of the main chamber before heading back to school to clean all the kit!

Cave-tastic in Prishamsleigh



Yesterday evening was a good time to be underground, out of all the rain and wind. I know it is muddy in there, but I forgot quite how muddy! I didn't think the phone would cope with more than a couple of short without switching permanently off!
