Great Scot! Could you not find any English people to be on the poster  : :tease:

It can't be Rachel - that persons helmet is on straight and not wonky........

All photos at the newsletter header from now on will hopefully relate to something in that issue... in this case, the photo is in Uamh an Claonaite, at the top of the famous watershoots (a really splendid place) captured by Gary Douthwaite during a YUCPC/YCC joint holiday in Scotland a few years ago. This reflects the publication of our new Scottish caves guide, and the fact that the CNCC seeks to represent Scotland as well as northern England.

Who better to model for this photo than a Scottish northern England caver? 

Yes it is a genuine Scot on the header - in a Scottish cave. She now lives in England due to being run out of Scotland for not liking Haggis and Iron-brew. 

Very happy to put other people photos on the header of the next issue if they send me them but ideally they need to relate to a current bit of news.

Never heard of Iron Brew, surely you mean Irn Bru

She sounds like the best one for the job. And to think the last time I happened to be in the Hunters she was drinking Cider rather than buckfast.

Top work!



And now I tell myself off for being racist  :chair:

Especially as CNCC covers the whole of Scotland as well as northern England (making it the largest area of the "access bodies" as well as having the most caves)
(is there a "smug" emoji?)
