The Croesor-Rhosydd team: Appearing on camera for possibly the last time... Vanoord was very happy with this image because he is in the middle. (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-001) Vanoord making the first descent: Vanoord looking pensive at the start of the first descent. (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-002) Vanoord making the first desent: Following a medium sized shove, Vanoord begins his descent.

 (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-004) Pillar robbing in chamber 1E: Evidence of pillar robbing in Croesor chamber 1E, the rest of the evidence (i.e. the roof) is liberally scattered around the chamber floor. (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-005) Croesor Chamber 1E and 2E: More in chamber 1E/2E/3E. Not a chamber to spend a great deal of time in, unless of course you are taking photographs... (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-006) John making the second descent: John pauses on the second descent.

(Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-011) Ladder to higher levels: Jim or Bri pauses at the base of a really, very long ladder, crying out to be climbed by a nut case. (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-012) Flooded chamber: Flooded chamber, containing what looks for all the world like a garden bench. (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-013) Bridge number one: John crosses the first bridge. (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-014) Bridge number one: Nobody crossing the first bridge. (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-015) Bridge number one: Jon crosses the first bridge. It's starting to make sense now, John is in blue, Jon is in orange.

(Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-017) Second zip wire crossing: Vanoord crosses the second zip wire traverse.

(Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-021) First site of the 'Bridge of Death': The second bridge, the fabled 'Bridge of Death'. (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-022) Bri on the 'Bridge of Death': Bri heads off to cross the BoD, here negotiating the bendy wobbly rails. (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-023) Bri on the 'Bridge of Death': Bri on the BoD, on the central support, contemplating the zip wire to cross the second half. (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-024) Jim on the 'Bridge of Death': Jim just about to get airborne for the second half of the BoD. (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-025) Jim gets air on the BoD: And in mid air and making his way to the tunnel mouth. (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-026) Vanoord on the 'Bridge of Death': Vanoord negotiating the bendy wobbly rails. (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-027) Vanoord strings up the BoD: Vanoord displays just how many slings and karabiners he bought with him for exactly this purpose... (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-028) John on the 'Bridge of Death': John (this one in grey) on the central support looking unreasonably relaxed. (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-029) John on the 'Bridge of Death': John (blue) on the bendy wobbly rails. (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-030) John takes to the air on the BoD: John gets airborne for the second part of the BoD. (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-031) Jon on the 'Bridge of Death': Jon (orange) pauses for contemplation. (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-032) Vanoord descends to the waiting boats: Vanoord begins his descent into the flotilla of waiting dinghies. (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-033) The Chamber of Horrors: Looking across the 'Chamber of Horrors'.

Especially one with that large a grin on his face... (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-23-07-2006-Image-040) Tranquil chamber of horrors: The CoH looking remarkably tranquil. The amount of in-situ gear makes this trip a lot less technical that it once was. The early explorers who discovered the route; and all those people who have put an incredible effort into rigging cables, bridges and providing gear deserve serious praise.
