Hmmm... so it wasn't Clark Kent's alter ego then and therefore there's no point in applying for a licence to mine a newly found Kryptonite vein?A very large gentleman got stuck in " Superman Squeeze "

What size would you make it? There are parts of Goatchurch I don't fit through. Or do you have a hoop sized for each obstacle?

Are you suggesting that the activity centre is not professionally run and the instructors there aren't excellent?
Just asking.

Obviously it should be the short very tight tube that bypasses the first part of Hellish Tight (and is quite a bit smaller). Then only me, a very small fraction of boys and a still small but larger fraction of girls would be able to fit (plus a load of children I guess but you can't have everything). If you can't fit through that then you can only go in the big entrance to the bottom of the old showcave steps otherwise you might accidentally or foolishly get stuck in a tight bit...
