SUMMARY:[BP] SATURDAY ADVANCED - DRUM CAVE [FULL]
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\nSIGNUPS WILL OPEN UP AT 9PM MONDAY 15/07\n\n&nbsp\;
 \nSign up for ONE Saturday and ONE Sunday trip. If you do not get accep
 ted on your first choice trip then you may sign up for a different one. (S
 ame format as Boree Log!). You must be signed up to the main event to sign
  up to individual trips\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDrum Cave is for those whole can al
 ready abseil and ascend confidently and are comfortable navigating rebelay
 s and ropework on exposed\, slippery traverses. It is a bat breeding and n
 ursery 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 could req
 uire passing a rebelay. Check for foul air (Drum Cave is notorious) before
  continuing on through a short squeeze into the Collapse Chamber.\n\nA ser
 ies 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 about 30
 m. Otherwise continue down into the Railway Tunnel where there are two opt
 ions. 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 and
  sliding around in guano through 300m of bonus cave content\, maybe even h
 itting 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 a
 ll over again (but in reverse!).\n\nNow you can take the other route\, dow
 n 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 and
  be prepared to suffer. Then forget all about it and cave again the next d
 ay!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat YOU need:\n\n 	Helmet*\n 	Harness*\n 	Descende
