Oxlow Cavern, New Oxlow Series

Meeting up at the café in Monyash as usual with Keith, we headed for the Orpheus hut to collect the ropes for a trip to Pilgrim's Way and New Oxlow Series in Oxlow Cavern.
I went as far as a short, low and wet section which I would have had to drag some gravel out in order to fit through so rather than lay in the cold water and dig the gravel out I decided to hang around while Keith and Karen continued the remaining short distance to the sump and the end of the passage.
On the way out Karen picked up quite a lot of old tins, batteries and other rubbish which Keith and I were calling “artefacts”!

Anyway, it was sunset as we reached the surface nearly six hours later and we saw a small rainbow as the sun was setting.
