| That was an interesting night! Hopefully others will write their trip reports but here's a summary. The plan was to reach the well decorated Regent Street in the notorious West End Series of Eastwater. There was myself, Sean, Will, Peter, Euan, James & Josh. We got going by about 7.20pm and made good progress down through the Woggle Press to the pitches. I belayed James, Josh and Euan down the ladder first, gave them two laminated surveys and advised them to get going rather than wait for the whole group to assemble. In hindsight I should only have given them one of the surveys, but I am prone to senior moments. Anyway the rest of us all got down and crawled through to Harris's Passage. I was expecting to still have a voice contact with the lead group but all was quiet, and without the survey it took us a few minutes to locate the way on. This was a tight upward squeeze that everybody managed apart from me and I was forced to admit defeat. Peter, Sean and Will continued and I returned to the pitch just in time to meet another group we'd changed with at WCC. I joined them and exited the cave. | That was an interesting night!
