Caving Valentines Day trips, successes, recollections or disasters!

[cap n chris]

​

So you were really keen to impress them and suggested a caving trip? Darkness and romance, a brilliant combo?

Or was it?

It's all about the anecdotes, ... how did things go? Many cavers have struck up relationships as a result of our favourite activity; are you one of them?

Well I shall be abandoning the wife for valentines day and going to the Dales for the DUSA Annual Dinner!

It's only fair, I had to miss it 3 years ago for her our wedding

Judging by the number of cave passages called 'Valentines' or similar, then digging on valentines day is very productive and should be encouraged.

Airedale CC had a dig on Leck started one Valentine's day - named Valentine sink.  Didn't get anywhere.

I originally met my wife in the back of a van on Ilkley Moor car park on a caving club ladder climbing training day.

I know Garlands pot was found on Castleton Garland day so I've always assumed St Valentines Sump was passed on St Valentines day, but I could be wrong!!

Maybe it was named after the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre?  :-\

Last weekend in Giants Hole I had to realize, that currently the only thing which makes my underwear wet is caving... So I think I am going caving on Sunday
