Four cavers (all m, early twenties) were reported overdue on a trip into Sell Gill Holes. Team members were put on stand-by while the duty controller made enquiries, but the reporting person soon told him that two of the party were out of the hole, the other two were de-tackling the route out and all were safe. Team members were thanked and stood down.

It seems that the group’s exit was delayed when rising water levels necessitated re-rigging pitches

Volunteer hours: 0.5
