Top tip: Student landlords usually play fast-and-loose with property law. We sued one landlord during undergraduate and bought a Scurion 1500 with the proceeds.

this line goes pretty hard ngl

The Internet can be used to communicate things over distances exceeding 90 miles these days, and in real time! And I'd say that Riftpotter posting this thread on a public discussion forum implicitly gives Danielle the right to comment on it.

Speaking as a BPC member, I'm fairly sure it went out on various club communiques that there would be a joint birthday party hosted by the younger members of the club at the hut this weekend. I was aware of this, and I don't exactly read club emails religiously so it was well communicated to...

Yep, seems like this is the era of Welsh supremacy. When I first started it was Southron supremacy, then we had Botch Botcherby, First of His Name, King In The North and protector of Uni Clubs. Ireland is due its moment any time now, followed swiftly by the Glasgow Uprising.

Student caving culture comes in waves, as generations of members come and go with high turnaround. If you'd tried to draw this chart at CHECC in the year or two before Covid, when ULSA/SUSS formed most of the CHECC and BCA youth committee, you'd have something that was pretty much completely...

Recent update The SUSS efforts in Ben's Dig continue. Following a period of heavy digging down the sandy tube, we began to look at the teetering mound of sediment that loomed above the dig face with cautious dread. The tube is slightly less vertical now and we have cut 'steps' into the dense...

Honorary mention for the old school SUSS Hut up at Rowter Farm.

Exactly, DCRO have 2 vehicles and I think we only have 3 or 4 people that can drive them. It's simply not true what Ed is saying about needing to be a driver to join the team because you might need to drive a vehicle. Maybe in the '70s when you might have been called on to drive a Land Rover up...

How far into your own shakehole did you have to reach to pull this statement out? I'd say as a cave rescue volunteer you'd be far more likely to be needed to man a radio, or go underground than drive a team vehicle. As for attending a second call out, this implies you're already in attendance of...

When Winnat’s Caver is telling you not to do Winnat’s, you know some serious shit has gone down.

We recently found the rope pulled/tangled up near the top (presumably by a careless final member of the previous party?). Aid climbing up using the P-bolts isn't too difficult either; but like you say you probably have your pullthrough rope so can sling it over the bridge.

What time is this on till? I have an old Protector that I'd be keen to get looked at but I'm working Saturday.

BPC have GUPA, SUSS and BEC staying there this weekend. Dunno if there's much space left! If there's space you'd be welcome.

Down P8 last night, we must have been the first people down there since the floods. Walking into Mud Chamber was like breaking virgin passage. Inches of fresh, untouched sediment over everything. We were making fresh footprints in inch-thick organic sediment that was laid on the ledges for the...

Apologies I didn't mean to be so harsh with the language there.

My dated comment was a jest towards my digging partner and not meant to be taken seriously.

I was going to say this sounds like a rip-off of the long-awaited Easegill Meal. Sadly two of the co-creators of The Meal retired from caving before carrying it out - with one relocating to Essex to sell insurance after "completing caving", and the other doing the old "Lechuguilla-and-disappear".
