After the previous dive at Tucks Rift both of us (Andy and Colin) had high hopes for the day's trip...
Richard and I ventured to Praz-de-Lys near Taninges in France for the EuroKIMM Mountain Marathon...
I think Laetitia was fairly pleased with herself today - she'd fancied doing "Dream" for ages...
Sunday morning 6am..... Sarah, Sheila (Sarah's mum) and Ian were to be found setting up their pitch at the Cockermouth car boot sale.
We've lived in the Kentmere valley for years and have never walked up to the interestingly named Williamson's Monument...
This weekend, I have not only learnt the delights of Bar Pot and Grey Wife, but also, how committed and absolutely crazy my friend Colin is. Seriously, this man is nutty. Caving is one thing, cave diving is another thing...
The plan for the weekend involved three choices for the Saturday. We (Rach and Colin) ended up taking the second choice which was Bar Pot, one of the simpler entrances into the Gaping Gill system...
At 9am it was gloriously sunny, at 9.30 it was getting decided over-cast, at 10am it was quite cool. We decided a strategic journey south would give us a better opportunity to do some climbing...
While Laetitia and I were are Warton Quarry today I got a chance to get really close to and photograph this beautiful dragonfly...
