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...

Northern Ireland allows you to do some international caving in the space of one trip. Can't beat that in England.

I went looking for a written assessment of his crimes and I regret even that. ****ing deranged monster.

Who need therapy when I have memes

Maybe when I have a less oppressive job I'll be able to collect a few more

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...
