Quick search brought up this Chrissy in caving art, but no detail on the art page.. Perhaps the same Chrissy? http://www.darkeypang.org.uk/frames_pages/frames.htm

Also, on our Berger trip in 2016, one of the team lost their welly near the canals - But I can't remember if it was retrieved or not, and I can't remember who it was either :ROFLMAO:

After car troubles in France, I ended up in Matienzo with very minimal kit one year. I raided the tackle store for old abandonded kit, and in doing so found myself some Size 10 wellies... They'll do, I thought. So donned my super absorbant cotton socks, a borrowed wetsuit and boiler suit, and...

Have sent you a PM :)

I second this! I suffer with hayfever type symptoms all year round, and quite enjoy things clearing up whilst underground!

I agree more with your rankings here. But, I think Crusader series should swap with Water Icicle and Speedwell with Bagshawe... IMO :-)

Looking forward to visiting! Good luck :-)

Derbyshire CC seemed to have a lengthy involvement with that area during the late 80's / early 90's. Before my time, but there's a lot of reference in old newsletters etc. I'm not entirely sure as to what they were actually doing in there, and where though - Sorry.

Survey kit is usually known to hinder progress. Best left at home :dig:

Believe it may be a member of DCC. Have shared this post :)

Love the last picture!

They should be. Nobody has contacted me to say they've been de-rigged and it's only been a week. Both pitches are rigged (2x 15m) but we didn't leave a bag. Have a good trip! Tom

Not technically lost, but left behind due to poor planning. County Pot, this weekend has been left rigged. We were doing the County > Lancaster and rigged the 2x County pitches. The rigging wasn't pulled through due to an uncertainty of route finding ( I forgot that we didn't need kit to come...

Maybe miles out here, but could this be Birks Fell?

It's very rare that I have ever needed to show my green card, and most of the time, if a trip requests BCA insurance the membership number will usually suffice. Like most others mine stays at home and in a drawer with the others. The only issue with providing just the membership number is that...

A few more whilst i'm going through photos :) Gaping Gill, Yorkshire Lenny's Cave, Matienzo Powell's Lode, North Wales

New to this thread. Nothing recent, but looking through other pictures and looking through the photo salon at HE makes me want to get the camera back out :) - Cnoc nan uamh, Assynt - Giants Hole, Derbyshire - Ezueka, Matienzo -

Interesting. Thanks for checking. Might just be me then. Yes, I can't get many of the links working and the captcha that popped up looked far too modern compared to the actual page. Tom

Hi All, I've done some surveying in the past and know (ish) what i'm doing when it comes to surveying etc. but I thought i'd check out the Cave Surveying Group website. When Googling I hovered the top link and all seemed good, showing cavesurveying.org.uk. I clicked, and this then took me to...

A similar email from John Wilcock was posted to the Matienzo email list yesterday. So, I suspect this is a hacked email. It was not addressed to anybody directly.
