On the subject of things of beauty, at the weekend I went on a caving trip (Lancaster Hole to Wretched Rabbit) with friends from Bradford Pothole Club in the Ease Gill area on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Often caving trips are cold, wet affairs with much of the enjoyment being in difficulties overcome; the excitement generated by rushing water, big drops and tight squeezes. Something I'd recently lost a little enthusiasm for.
This trip was different. The cave was actually warm and dry with space to sit around, chat, crack jokes and enjoy the scenery. I've been into the Ease Gill system a handful of times before but had never seen the Minarets passage, shown above (image thanks to The Red Rose Cave and Pothole Club) until now.
