@JonnyC: Challenge to break SW from the quarry to Cribarth trig whilst remaining on WGL terrain, micro Nav practice, visit few cave digs and then the massive Shake Hole. Good conditions. QHWD

@JonnyC: Micro Nav, timing and pacing practice on Ogof Ffynnon Ddu nature reserve, wet & misty. QHWD

@JonnyC: Completion of the above across Lord Hereford’s knob, down past the reservoir. Windy & wet.

@JonnyC: A 2 day expedition across the Black Mountains from Llanthoney, taking in Hay Bluff before dropping into the wooded valley for a hammock wild camp. Strong Gale 9, Rain, Low Vis. QHWD

Possible entrance to elm cave spotted, quick change, caught for a cup of tea, ran out of time. @JonnyC: Spotted a possible entrance to Elm Cave whilst setting up for a survival camp, realising we had an hour window we dashed back to the tent and put the caving gear on, just in time for the warden to turn up for a cup of tea. Drank tea in the caving suit, then due to time pressures got changed back.

Trip into GB via Devils Elbow @JonnyC: A revisit to GB, this time via Devils Elbow. A very good trip, thoroughly enjoyed, must come back to try and get my bearings.

JCs first successful through trip, not as bad as it looked. @JonnyC: Finally achieved the through trip, the climb up the lower reach was far easier than anticipated, and indeed much easier than it looked from the top looking down before.

A revisit to Sump Two.

Navigational practice in the West End series from survey

Details escape me.
