Group: Me, Will and Wayne
A brief trip down to Devon, staying at the DSS hut for the first time. We were joined by Wayne, who had not previously experienced the amazing variety of caves Devon has to offer…
Saturday 16th May 2015 – Baker’s Pit
We started with the obvious choice and headed down Baker’s Pit. The plan was to visit most of the cave and the Plymouth Extensions (although not Glorious Devon or Crystal Pool Passage, two of the most misleadingly named bits of cave I’ve come across). We did the usual – Boulder Chamber (or is it Boulder Hall?) to the Green Lake. Unfortunately, the lake has gone missing, which was odd because the rest of the cave was not unusually dry. The lake was completely dry, which is quite a large amount of water to just wander off. Not sure if this is a permanent development or if it was down to the weather – last time I Bakers’d (in February 2014 whaaaat) it was most definitely still there.
