Water levels were very low. Our plan was to do the Short Round Trip. Simon lead the way so as he could try and remember the route for future trips. The mud sump was open when we reached it but we spent about 20 minutes with two other guys bailing it so as to empty some of the water out and give more of an airspace. Double Troubles were also very low and no bailing or siphoning was required here. Unfortunately, when we got to Birthday Squeeze not everyone could fit through. As there was only four of us we decided to turn around and head back the way we had come. <br> <br>The way out was a bit slower as people got tired but all was OK.
