Alum Pot
22 July 2006
Cavers: Sooty (don’t shoot me I’m just fat) Sutton, Tony (f*cking fast) Wells, George (the wealth) Goodfellow, Tim (the naked groom) Hallam, Pete (the prankster) Barr, Paul (submerged) Byrne, Nigel (body in the concrete) Kelly and Simon (I don’t mind pissing in Tim’s caving gear) Southerner.
A weekend away was planned for Tim’s second stag night (the first was a quiet drink in Manchester with no puking and lap dancing involved at all – honest!!!).
A major faff plus picking up the bunk house keys saw the Manchester lot 25 minutes last to Ingleton…
A pleasant breakfast and a few war stories to spook Paul was had then off to Selside. After Sooty admitted to being worried about being worry that his beer ring could be mistaken for a bomb belt!!!!
Sooty and Tony went up the wrong path and surprisingly couldn’t find Alum Pot.
A walk in 30 degrees heat soon saw everyone at Alum Pot and Sooty and Tony rigged the exit rope in the wrong place.
We then entered Lower Long Churn and went upstream with everyone enjoying the underground scenery. Pete Barr trying impromptu cave diving by fallen head first it the deep pool….
Then Paul Byrne decided not to be outdone and slipped underwater in Dr Bannisters Hand Basin with an almighty splash!
I pleasant cave saw as at the pitch but with a busy cave Tim escorted Pete and Paul
out via the narrowest part of the rift (Paul was not amused!!!). Eh? This sentence
makes no sense whatsoever -
Tim returned to be greated by George returning up the rope.
We exited the cave taking some nice photos en-
Then off to the pub where Pete had already had 3 pints of cider.
Then off to change at the bunk house and Pete threw cold water on people in the shower – George offered use of his “arse towel” NO THANKS!!!!!
Then we got drunk round Ingleton and returned to the bunk house via the country road WHERE THE LADS FORCEABLY REMOVED TIM’S CLOTHES AND THREW STONES AT HIS TO MAKE HIM JUMP AROUND AS IF ENJOYING HIMSELF !!!!!
The 2 big pans under the bed didn’t hinder Tim’s sleep (after puking in the sink!!!), The talc on his pillow was a bit excessive!
The drive home saw 1 further puke by Tim.
A GREAT WEEKEND,
Tim
Tim has his kit off,
he's no toff,
off down the road he ran,
he's bound to face an Ingelton pub ban
