Several caving trips occurred on this meet: on Saturday, two parties did an exchange between County Pot and Wretched Rabbit Entrance in Easegill, and a third party went to Short Drop and Lost Johns' Cave on Leck Fell. On the Sunday, a splinter group went to Aygill while most of us wandered down Valley Entrance. I took some photos in Easegill on Saturday; unfortunately, no photos are extant from Sunday,as my camera had spontaneously metamorphosed into cold macaroni cheese.

Several caving trips occurred on this meet: on Saturday, two parties did an exchange between County Pot and Wretched Rabbit Entrance in Easegill, and a third party went to Short Drop and Lost Johns' Cave on Leck Fell. On the Sunday, a splinter group went to Aygill while most of us wandered down Valley Entrance. I took some photos in Easegill on Saturday; unfortunately, no photos are extant from Sunday,as my camera had spontaneously metamorphosed into cold macaroni cheese. Photos by Dave Loeffler.
