There was some great entries for this :-)

January 2014. Three anonymous cavers, let’s call them Bob, Bave and Bimon, are heading to their usual evening dig in Gautries. Bimon expresses some concern over the weather forecast but the others assure him it will be fine. It is not fine. After finishing digging they return to find the...

Thank you to everyone who has offered a home to a book/ journal/ publications. Between the caving club libraries and individual cavers so far over 650 items have been found new homes!

I think I have now replied by direct message to everyone who has requested things - please nudge me if you haven't heard from me and requested some books! Katie

Ah, ok. To be fair my list of available books itself isn't for the faint hearted! I had to post it in multiple posts as it was too long for one..... The list of Club publications/ BCRA items/ expedition reports etc is actually longer so I think its best if people message me if they want a copy...

Sorry, no spare copies of that one! Right, that is all the books! Journals/ Newsletters/ Bulletins etc coming up......

Hi all, Last year the British Caving Library received very generous donations of caving literature from several sources. Many of these now have a permanent place on the library shelves, however within the donations were lots of duplicate items - that the library already has. We have...

I wear mine all time though! And I haven't broken any caving, as I suspect my oversuit protects them at least a little. They all break on the surface - the last one about 2 weeks ago on a mud run. Also for this plan to work I'd have to buy some elbow pads, and I suspect I could buy and break...

The revival of this post is crazy timing - I have literally just been googling for another replacement strap for my Casio F91W My original strap lasted years and years, and then the next ones lasted quite a while. But recently they are breaking very quickly and in the same place - the little...

In most cases..... but not all!

Yesterday we had a trip into Merlins to the bits that are usually too wet to visit - Downstream Shags sump is accessible, and upstream you can get to sump 5. On the way out whilst crawling past the connection crawl to Gimli's dream/ through to Carlswark a microwaved sized boulder fell out of...
