Summary

Swildon's short dry, twenty, inclined rift, sump 1 & return via same route, normal water levels - party of 6
Comment by @JonnyC on Tuesday 13 June 2023
Deciding to relive memories of "Cold dips and chilly showers - April 2015" where KC & CC successfully (albeit slowly) tackled Sump One and to push a little bit further from "What an adventure! - 9 Jul 2022" where AC took his first steps into Swildon's Hole, a trip was (eventually) organised to also give NK her first trip of this amazing cave.

Due to the nature of the party, progress was not fast, but, a full appreciation of all obstacles was had by all. On finally reaching Sump One (duck) the younger ones proceeded to navigate the dive to the other side in a relatively timely fashion. We took advantage of RM's tuck shop before giving turns at navigation on the return journey (and not stepping in when a deviation to the wet way was passed due to time constraints).

Huge thanks as always to RM for sorting out a mountain of gear that enabled the trip and it was great to be underground together again.
