Yesterday Whilst taking some groups of Explorer Scouts around Burrington we came across the Bigest bunch of Tossers that I've ever seen in Goatchurch. My mates were at the top of the coffin slab when they met a Group of four Adults & four Kids average age of Seven wearing NO HELMETS & carrying only hand torches. My Mates tried to explain that "maybe they shouldn't go any further" To which they totally ignored them & carried on down.
Alan & Chris decided to Exit with their Party, once at the Tradesmens they took the Helmet & Lights from the Explorers & sent them back to the Car park to meet up with Me & John to get more Helmets Etc.
When they caught up with Me we had just got back from Rods Pot & were finished for the Day,once told what was happening in Goatchurch John & Me headed up. As I arrived at the Entrance Alan & Chris told me that they had Safely brought them out the Main Entrance. By now i was fuming
As the Kids exited they commented "Dad they are wearing Wellies you told us Trainers were better" his reply was "I didn't think they would have enough Grip"
Once the Kids were out of the way I let rip I told them "in 28 years Caving they were the most Stupid People I had ever seen,that not only did they not have Helmets but not proper lights" to which one of the females told me "that her Husband knew the Cave extremely well & had 20 years of caving experience" By now I came Very close to knocking him out :spank:She also said "that after Alan had given her a Helmet that she kept hitting her Head as it gave her a false sense of security" Her Husband the complete Tosser then tried to justify the fact that the Kids could fall over anywhere !
To which I told him" In which case it wouldn't matter as he wouldn't have to call out Cave Rescue, I said that he wouldn't go out to sea & tell his Kids to swim to shore knowing that the Life boats would come out ! " & that Cave Rescue was the Same " He seemed to agree but they still thought I was going over the Top. as he did have 20 years Caving behind him. So I asked him didn't he ever wear a Helmet in 20 Years" I told them to seriously to concider getting in touch with someone to take their Kids underground :read:
At this point I left before I knocked him out :chair:
Alan then told him that "didn't they think it's strange that we had more concern for their Kids than they did"
Once in the Car Park Alan & Chris told me that they had overheard them in the Cave saying that they had been to the end of the Bunny Run & at the end thought it had collapsed because it didn't go any further ! & One of the Women saying "that they were only meant to be in an Hour & that they were already 2 1/2hrs in" Obviously No call out & properly No one knew they were in there anyway. They then sheepishly walked past us into the Restaurant's Car park Hopefully never to be seen again :doubt:
thanks to Alan,Chris & John for calming me down enough & getting them out Safely
