SUMMARY:[BP 2026] SUNDAY 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**This is a Vertical Trip and you must have 
 prior SRT Rope Skills experience**\n\n\n\n\n\nDrum Cave is for those whole
  can already abseil and ascend confidently and are comfortable navigating 
 rebelays and ropework on exposed\, slippery traverses. It is a bat breedin
 g and nursery cave so an affinity for our furry friends also recommended.\
 n\nWalk 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 co
 uld require passing a rebelay. Check for foul air (Drum Cave is notorious)
  before continuing on through a short squeeze into the Collapse Chamber.\n
 \nA series of small drops leads to the second abseil of about 15m. Stop ¾
  of the way down if you want to enjoy a pointless squeeze to nowhere for a
 bout 30m. Otherwise continue down into the Railway Tunnel where there are 
 two options. Ascend 20m up into the roof and do an awkward changeover to c
 lamber up a super exposed rubble slope into Drum extension.\n\nEnjoy slipp
 ing and 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 de
 scent all over again (but in reverse!).\n\nNow you can take the other rout
 e\, down 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 d
 own and 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
  primary light would be quite inconvenient)\n 	Shoes you're not afraid to 
 get muddy / dirty\n 	Small bottle of water\n 	Personal medications (epipen
 \, inhaler etc)\n 	Snacks / small lunch\n 	Old shirt / pants / overalls yo
 u can wear inside the cave\n 	Small backpack to carry your things\n 	Glove
 s (eg gardening gloves)\n 	If you have your own SRT equipment\, please bri
 ng them along (eg Caving / Canyoning Harness\, Caving Descender\, Chest
  Ascender\, Hand Ascender)\n\n*These can be borrowed from the club on the
  morning of\n\n\n\nDrum Cave is an advanced caving trip (and a long day!)\
 , where vertical rope skills is a must. When signing up for this trip\, pl
 ease make sure to include a) Have you ascended using Mechanical ascenders
