Fucking about in the Quarries (?)
Pete Harley
(Maybe others not listed)
Some of the people at top camp decided that caving was effort. They
were right. Therefore we decided to look at some hole we had walked past
on a previous slack day showing newcomers where Tunnocks is.
We passed 204 E to find some reasonably deep but snow filled holes.
Armed with a drill Nial bolted our way down a hole. Our team (Nial, Pete
and Sarah) was joined by Jon after Pete had descended and decided we
didn't have enough rope. Aided by Jon what we decided was 2007.03 was
descended to a snow plug and a slot followed by Jon. We surveyed down
the slot to a choke. It turns out this place was probably already
explored in 2002. Frank laddered down a hole that had a vital connection
to where we had been. Sarah and I looked [continued 3 pages later:
'Quarries continued'] in another hole that had a bolt already in place
and found no leads. Sarah + Jon looked at some other places further in
the Tunnocks direction which one of them will have to write about. To
conclude: Time wasted - 1 day.
