Giants Hole, Peak District

Karen and I drove to the Orpheus CC cottage and met Boyd there. The plan was to take James H., who was planning to join the club, on a trip into Giants Hole. Once James had arrived, we collected the ladder and lifeline and headed for Peakshill Farm. We entered the cave at around 12:30 pm and followed down Garlands Pot, the Crabwalk, Eating House, Maggins Rift to finally traverse back above the Crabwalk then back down to the streamway and again back at Garlands Pot.
Once the pitch had been de-rigged, we headed for the surface and were back in the sun at 3:30 pm. Once back at the car park we changed in the warm sun, maybe for the last time this year, and headed back to the Orpheus cottage. After a tea, I erected our new tent which I bought several moths ago and haven't yet used, as we are planning to camp next week in Yorkshire.
