Miss Bowden who caved as a friend of the Payne family married prominent YRC caver Ralph Stobart. She (and their child?) died in the influenza epidemic 1918. Def. Dorothy Pilley who caved in 1919- didn't feel the love for caves that she found in climbing (see YRC journal Vol 4 no.14 1921) Also...

Not my fault but...someone picked up my wellies from the changing room (that pair you know you can wear for days and won't suffer and had been in lots of caves with you) and left a pair that were too tight and too short. Still moan about it :ROFLMAO:

Prelude to the establishment of the CRO?

BEC?

Tore one of my gloves sorting out the wood pile 🙄

No Nonsense X8... but need a gun for that too

Which airline are you flying with? You might get some stories! Check you actually can have a cabin bag as well as luggage (cabin or hold) also weights allowed.

Good to hear it's back ☺️

Found the lost wellie

We were on his walk round Dylan Thomas's Newquay!

That's much earlier than I realised. I believe it was moved partly because so many vehicles got broken into, but that maybe a folk story

I'm leaning towards late 80s probably start of the 90s but I only went to two maybe three at UMIST. I can't remember where the first one was after UMIST. Was it Bristol Uni?

Repetition! There must be some way of deleting!

Can anyone remember which were the years the Conference took place in Manchester?

I think I've said this before...but Soreen maltcake -buttered optional- tastes the same however battered it gets!
