Ah, the legendary S.C.G. I'm pretty sure my membership expired long ago (if indeed I ever had one!) How time flies!

I just read about this and was blown away. Looking into it, it appears there was a similar one a few years back. I'm not really well versed on how something like this would be formed. Is there a cavern down there it collapsed in to? if so it would be massive...

Paris Catacombs 2009. Might recognise a face or two in there, but not mine, because I did the filming. No arrests, just a blister or two. Paris Catacombs Exploration 2009 enjoy! Dave

After the organised and efficient Hidden Earth convention, it's always nice to unwind at Ireland's own version, which prefers to let things take their own pace and instead relies heavily on the medium that is Guinness for almost all of its functions. Sounds perfect to me. Ireland is one of my...

Greetings all, I have several friends in Seoul that I am hoping to visit in October (assuming it isn't a warzone by then) and was hoping to spend some time caving and exploring any underground out there, does anyone know of or have any contacts out there that might be able to point me in the...

'Vedi Napoli e poi muori'.... See Naples and die. It all started with a picture on an internet forum, innocent enough.. it simply showed a broken urn in a dusty passageway and yet there was something about it conjured up an image of history and grandeur that set my mind racing at all the...

Here is a video I made of our recent adventure in the Napoli underground, largely unexplored and hugely extensive, it was a real honour to explore and with such good company, a trip report will follow, once we get photos sorted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F9ZMKByLk8&feature=channel_page Known

After such an amazing experience on last years adventure into the Parisian netherworld I was almost loathe to return to it for fear that the experience could never match up to that fabled first time, even now, a year on I find that some of those memories still make me grin and I often remind...

I often wonder where the time goes, which is perhaps why I take a lot of satisfaction from reading past trip reports, a lot has happened since my first caving trip in May of last year and it seems the bar keeps being raised, not only in regards to my experiences and confidence but also with my...

Most of the decisions I have made in my life have been informed ones, based on known elements and facts with little or no impulse at all, I was always of the mindset that I should keep myself out of the shit rather than have to be extricated from it. So it was somewhat of a system shock when one...

Instead of the usual dread and mute terror I experience before each and every trip I participate in, I actually found myself looking forward to this one for weeks in advance, which was quite amusing in hindsight as this trip turned out to be the one that nearly finished me off, one near death...

It is probably high time I got writing again before I fade into obscurity and folklore, and although work has been full on lately I would like to point out to the doubting masses that I have been doing plenty of trips and simply failing to write about them. So here is my latest remedy for the...

I seem to have been neglecting my caving duties of late, a combination of work and life have conspired against me and to the point that not only had all my bruises faded and vanished but also my limbs no longer hurt when I tried to move them. This was unacceptable and I had become so accustomed...

All pics kindly provided by Menacer (Carmen) Being a complete rookie and also totally naive I eagerly agreed to go on my first official Wessex club trip totally unsuspecting of the madness I would have to face in the form of an epic festival of half truths... outrageous bare faced lies...

On to a New year then and while I find myself skiving at work I have a bit of time to reflect on it all and also write up the last two trips I did in 2007. They go a little something like this Saturday; 29/12/07 Location;Hunter's Lodge Inn Sink... The Return! Attending;Darkplaces, Myself At a...
