Rebirth isn't too bad. It's a bit similar in size to some wee tube thing I remember doing in Mendip, maybe the drainpipe in goatchurch? It's the drop at the end that's awkward.
A rarely seen arrangement of words.
I can't really rate regions objectively. It's all down to circumstance really:
1: Fermanagh, for proximity.
2: Peak District, nice and easy to access everything around castleton and the Peak/Speedwell system is tons of fun. Plenty of other caves dotted around...
I tried that using the soft, malleable qualities of the snack as reasoning it would do fine in my pocket. Alas, it didn't last very long once I started going through colostomy crawl.
The Linnet Inn in county Fermanagh is across the road from Boho cave, and has a wee room decorated entirely with stone rubble in a sort of cave homage. Not the closest to a cave by any means, but the best guinness-quality-to-cave-proximity-ratio by a mile
I did some absolutely miserable SRT in one of these and didn't notice anything untoward yet. Will keep an eye out. Bit worrying when I bet most people (me at least) go for a superavanti as it's bog standard reliable kit.
I use those cheap metal flasks you find everywhere these days and they work a treat. Usually only bring in hot fruit squash though - it doesn't matter if it eventually cools down and it's a nice booster on chilly trips.
How about adding a P0(xlow): Definitely a dry trip, until you get soaked through by intermittent dripping before remembering how wet the wet pitch actually is.
I currently cave with University of Nottingham caving club, but my home's in Northern Ireland so I've been trying to get people to hop over the sea with me for a while :lol:
I'll have a look what our plans are for the coming term, we're always up for joint trips, and our sort of home turf is...
