    Just Go Caving! - Images required please!

    OK, to kick start the post, here's some from me: Caving Student Under 18s Clubs Sciency I figure high contrast photos probably the best if being used as thumbnail or background shots. *I've not got permission from recognisable models but will if being used, please let me know...

    The Assault Course via Peak Cavern.

    Worth noting that (as far as I'm aware) there is no evidence of Towd man in a Grand Day Out, unlike in Pilkington Series. If I had to choose one, I'd surface dig towards Pilkington Series...

    The Assault Course via Peak Cavern.

    Caving undersuits vs drysuit undersuits

    We got a load of dry suits in a closing down sale about 12 years ago. Best furry suit i've ever worn for wet trips, almost comparable with a wetsuit as long as you're staying active (apart from the initial cold shock). So seemingly there are a variety of different options at play.....

    Venue for a bash

    Eldon use the Anchor near Tideswell quite a lot these days. It has a big room at the back that can seat 45-50. Food and beer are great, and some of the staff are alright too ;-) Then for something a big bigger there's the Mechanics in Eyam where DEF was held, when we fit in ~100 for a lecture...

    Rowter Hole Update
