We reached the bottom of Marble Steps Pot on Sunday, via the Gully and 90' Pitch routes. Met up with a couple of guys doing a digging project on the way out. Six members on this trip. Some photos from Gaz.

A trip to P8 on Saturday, with three members visiting Ben's Dig to look at the progress Sheffield University Speleological Society (SUSS) have made. They have removed an impressive depth of mud!
The rigging guide topo for P8 has a small alteration. The length of rope recommended for the true second pitch has been increased to 18m.

A change of plan. Instead of the scheduled trip to Longcliffe Mine, we decided to do the trip that was cancelled by snow earlier in the month. Seven of us went underground on a cold and misty day in Maskhill Mine. We descended to West Chamber, where we found TSG member Luke Brock preparing to dive a sump at the end if an inlet between the West Antechamber and West Chamber. Gaz and Jenny went out via the already rigged Oxlow entrance. The others returned via Maskhill.
In Wharf Climbing Shaft, Gaz McShee has continued to remove rocks dropped by vandals during the summer that were blocking the way on in to the rest of the system.

Lots of snow and an amber weather warning lead us to abandon the planned trip today.

The rigging guide has two changes.
We would like to apologise for the CCPC web site outage over Christmas. All should now be back to normal.
