All your kit is clean, dry, checked and packed away. Not even a cavers sock down the back of the radiator! No heaps of silt in the corner of the room. Even the wellies are clean from walking in the snow

You?re not actually sure where your caving gear is.

. . . the tube of Aquasure in the fridge has set due to lack of regular use

When you dream of getting back to most miserable and desperate dig that you swore that you would never return to.

When you put your SRT gear on to try a few tweaks and realise it feels numb because you've clipped on the Petzl Stop the wrong way round . . . :-[

Thanks - I'll try that one in future.

As an aside, I've made a lot of use of this forum since caving was put on hold.
Just musing - we're very luck to have this resource, which is maintained to such a high standard.
Thank you forum owners!
