    Daren Cilau 18th - 20th July 2008

    Steve Sharp, Gary Kiely, Mad Fi, Andy Snook As is usual with the last few Daren camps it's been more of a jolly than digging (apparently that's what the camp is for!).  Seriously though, I?ve made a promise to myself to only dig and nothing else on future camps.... As opposed to being...

    Which lighting system ?

    Having recently got back into caving, I've managed to re-use some of my old kit instead of buying new. This of course includes my old FX2.  It still lasts a good time (8hrs before serious dimming) but i'm finding wearing the battery a bit of a pain, especially when there are now alternatives...
