Hugh St. Lawrence - The Three Counties System Celebrations (6)
On the afternoon of the 6th November 2011, the Bruno Kranskies Rising Sump dig in Notts 2 was connected to Lyle Caverns in Lost Johns' Cave, forging the final link in the Three Counties System. To celebrate the culmination of all the hard work put in by hundreds of cavers over several decades, a Three Counties System Connection Party was held on the 26th November 2011 in Burton-in-Lonsdale Village Hall. It was well attended by generations of cavers who had contributed to the project. Hugh St. Lawrence begins his presentation by talking about the Iron Kiln dig which eventually dropped into Mincemeat Aven in Notts 2 on Leck Fell. Digging in the various inlets in Notts 2 were all frustrated by emphatic chokes, and he transferred his attentions to Barbondale. Eventually he was persuaded back into Notts II and Bruno Kranskies, which after two years eventually resulted in the connections with Lost Johns' Cave.
