Leading novice to drainpipe and back @RichM: Main entrance, terrace, boulder chamber, water chamber, drain pipe and return via tradesman's

Proper explore of some of the challenges that would be useful when leading a party of mixed abilities @JonnyC: A trip back to goatchurch to try some personal challenges on for size. We all did the coal chute (with a handline), then rich demoed without. I did the superman. Rich and I did the under over. Rich squeezed through into the top of the water chamber. Darrem dropped down the rift under the coffin lid. I squeezed into the waterfal chamber. Great fun.

Pushing thr boundaries a little in Swildons into St Pauls Series and back @JonnyC: A trip into swildon's via the short dry way, down the twenty, up tratmans temple into St Pauls, through the mud sump and back out. Good trip, DG was feeling a bit under the weather and tired towards the end, but all was well.

Exploration of Sandford Levvy @JonnyC: After hearing rumours that Sandford Levvy might represent a novice cave, we thought we would take the opportunity to explore it. Interesting hole, but not a lot going on and whatever there is happens to be protected by very dodgy looking tat and safety gear. Would be a good cave to take some very timid beginners to though, especially if integrated with the surrounding woodland.

Leading Kyle into Goatchurch through drainpipe and into dexian extension @JonnyC: Good trip, Kyle took the lead a few times. Headed down to the water chamber and out along the drainpipe, finally along the dexian extension.

Leading Callum into the water chamber, searching for running water and free climbing out of tradesmans @JonnyC: Great trip leading Callum down to the water chamber and searching for the running water. Callum managed to free climb out of tradesman with a little scary slip at the top, but thoroughly enjoyed it.

JC learning his way around in Eastwater inc Bakers Chimney @JonnyC: A revisit to Eastwater to take the approach to the 35ft pitch at a slower speed to try to familiarise myself with the route, didn't do bad but dropped down too low for the woggle press initially. Enjoyed Baker's Chimney. Also popped along the bedding plane at the end to remind myself how strenuous it is.

JC's first proper trip into Eastwater keeping up with some of the pros, thirteen pots amazing. @JonnyC: Fairly speedy trip down into Eastwater, only my second attempt at this cave, but progressed much further this time. In and out via the woggle press, returned back up through 13 pots, got fairly bruised up, but even had time for a pint of potholer afterwards! Got fairly stressed about the bold step at the lower end, but Paul was excellent in his assistance and got me down through encouragement and f ...

Navigatonal practice in Swildon's to Tratmans @JonnyC: Popped into Swildon's to have a look up in Tratman's Temple again, manged to walk all the way to Sump 1 before I realised that I was thinking of the wrong place. Stepped up to the right on Tratman's to see all the pretties, loved it. Completed the twenty without lifeline.

Led Andy down for his first ever caving experience in Goatchurch @JonnyC: Led Andy for a wander down into the Water chamber of Goatchurch to try his hand at Caving, he held his own and thoroughly enjoyed it, a further trip is likely.
