Eldon Hole

Again, the three of us collected the ropes and tackle bags from the Orpheus Cc hut then after breakfast at the café in Monyash, drove to the farm near Eldon Hole where we parked on a track and got changed into our caving gear.

We walked further up the track to the large open shaft of Eldon Hole and Keith began rigging the rope following the South Gully route while I followed him with the second tackle bag of rope and Karen bringing up the rear.

When I reached the foot of the 60 metre shaft, Keith was just clambering down the small opening which leads to the adjoining large chamber.

I waited for Karen to arrive and we decided not to bother clambering into the chamber and she soon began to prusik back up to the surface.

I followed with Keith bringing up the rear. At least there were no problems with carbon dioxide today.
