    New Avanti leg loops slipping

    clearly those woke lefties are being oversensitive by complaining about nearly falling out of their harnesses mid-pitch like, get a grip, petzl has no obligation to provide safe and usable ppe (just mean to say I don't think the political name calling is particularly relevant in this instance...

    AI Wezzit

    Wow. The more you look at it the harder to tell what animal that is. Can't remember hearing of a cave called Two-Legged-Goat-Bull-Creature On Roof Of Mosque Pot but that's my best guess.

    First Aid Kits

    I bring a small peli case with my phone, spare battery, steri strips, a bandage, a large plaster, duct tape, a tampon, ibuprofen, diclofenac, mini eye wash, anti septic wipes, savlon, a candle and a lighter, and a 1man emergency bothy in my bag.

    Wezzit?

    Ah, not quite where I thought then, I see now- right cave wrong choke! I'll take it anyway... I'm never the one to bring my phone so I struggled for material- hopefully this is sufficient, the quality is terrible but the clues are there and the options limited. In the throes of derigging in...

    Wezzit?

    Is it Aggy? just past the not-very-squeezy bit, just before some tat handline climbs? if memory serves correct there is a very dodgy way to get over..

    Caving Memes

    to be fair, babyhagrid was not making fun of (in a playful and lighthearted way) sharing pictures of ones *own* kids, rather of the pictures of the Random Spanish Superchildren whose shadow we, poor, old (i.e. not under 12) uk troglodytes can never hope to step out of (once again, i am joking)...

    What do you talk about on trips?

    If I am leading I tend to make formation based small talk (ranging from the interesting to the nonsensical), I also, whether having been there before or not, tend to do a lot of 'wow's, 'this is sooo cool's and 'do you think this kind of looks like a *insert something funny or possibly lewd*?'s...

    Our new Inclusivity Coordinator

The stakes are not remotely the same, being uncomfortable is not the same as being unsafe and unwelcome (others have explained more eloquently than I could that...

    Welsh Wezzit

    Being on the trip the photo was taken on feels too much like cheating, even though getting away from those fine black gour pools was enough of a struggle that I feel I do deserve the knowledge acquired! Maybe that can serve as a bit of a clue...

    Wezzit?
