SUMMARY:[BP 2026] SATURDAY ADVANCED - DRUM CAVE
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\nSIGNUPS WILL OPEN UP AT 9PM Tuesday 23/06\n\n&nbsp\
 ;\nSign up for ONE Saturday and ONE Sunday trip. If you do not get acce
 pted on your first choice trip then you may sign up for a different one. (
 Same format as Boree Log!). You must be signed up to the main event to sig
 n up to individual trips\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDrum Cave is for those whole can a
 lready abseil and ascend confidently and are comfortable navigating rebela
 ys and ropework on exposed\, slippery traverses. It is a bat breeding and 
 nursery cave so an affinity for our furry friends also recommended.\n\nWal
 k into the largest cave entry in Bungonia before descending down the first
  46m abseil into the abyss. This may be done in two pitches which could re
 quire passing a rebelay. Check for foul air (Drum Cave is notorious) befor
 e continuing on through a short squeeze into the Collapse Chamber.\n\nA se
 ries of small drops leads to the second abseil of about 15m. Stop ¾ of th
 e way down if you want to enjoy a pointless squeeze to nowhere for about 3
 0m. Otherwise continue down into the Railway Tunnel where there are two op
 tions. Ascend 20m up into the roof and do an awkward changeover to clamber
  up a super exposed rubble slope into Drum extension.\n\nEnjoy slipping an
 d sliding around in guano through 300m of bonus cave content\, maybe even 
 hitting the magical stream at the end (if foul air doesn’t get you first
 ). Then return to do the awkward rubble slope change over and 20m descent 
 all over again (but in reverse!).\n\nNow you can take the other route\, do
 wn a 10m pitch and onwards into the sump. You’ve hit the end! Time to go
  all the way back up! Ascend every pitch (70m total) you just came down an
 d be prepared to suffer. Then forget all about it and cave again the next 
 day!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat YOU need:\n\n 	Helmet*\n 	Headlight and spare
  batteries\n 	Spare light source + spare batteries (a malfunction of prima
