From Mike Bottomley (ULSA/CPC) - 14/6/07
Did the through trip in Langstroth Pot recently. It's a varied trip with a superb streamway and no particular difficulties except for the top of the Second Pitch which is quite narrow. All three sumps were easily free-dived and the diving lines appeared to be secure. The air in the small airbell seemed relatively fresh, but I only stayed for a couple of breaths! A fine and exhilarating end to a superb caving trip and definitely one to do again.
