Bernie, John, Grace and Victoria
It had been a trip planned and missed a few times. After some confusion on the group chat we finally made a plan for some Tuesday nighters to visit Longcliffe. Meeting up we headed up the steep hill to find the entrance. The weather was perfect and there are few views more spectacular in the Peak District. Lucky us.
John agreed to rig and off he went. Grace is a regular to this spot, John hadn’t been in quite a while , for Bernie it was donkey’s years and this was my first time. John did a great job rigging and noticed when he got to the last bolting that you use the in situ rope to the floor. Good thing as the rope we brought was a tad too short. Down and a nice explore along the rift. Fun little traverse..whoever did that was ace. Phil? We explored down the next pitch to the dig and it is nice to see how far it goes and goes. Nice bit of conservation tape in place as well. Only one of us wanted to derig so out we went.
There wasn’t time to make the pub but with good company that is all we needed.
