You and yours today at 12pm (Wednesday 25th). Discussions and interviews about the planned removal of the Adventure Activities Licensing Service. Should be of interest.

Have been after a copy for ages but a bit reluctant to pay ?50 on amazon.  Also if anyone can recommend any other titles in this area it would be greatly appreciated.

Whilst perusing the IG Nobel winners from last year I learnt some fun things including the Bat fellatio phenomenon: http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0007595 Anyway... I thought I would share this with all the bat lovers I know! One of my other favourites from...

Planning to do it tomorrow, having never been in either cave before. I know I need to rig a line in Bath swallet first and was hoping to find a survey but no luck as yet.  Have got a copy of Mendip underground with Rod's in but can somebody tell me where the connection is? I'm guessing the 3m...

In my limited experience drag tray's working in tight crawl ways are a complete pain in the arse!  :furious: We recently experimented with a watercooler bottle as a vessel with some success: The idea being the bags may survive better than when they're being dragged or rolled by hand if they...

My first club caving weekend at the Wessex hut on Mendip started pretty well.  As I needed to be back in West Cornwall by Saturday evening Keith, John and I headed up on the Friday afternoon so we could get a quick trip in before the merriment began later that evening.  We arrived a the hut...

I'm planning to do a trip one evening next week into one of the above mentioned caves and I was wondering how I might get access, key's etc...  I've not done any of them before and there's only me and one other coming up from Devon, probably thursday evening.  Any info would be greatly...

Does any one know of any caves in the Charente region of France, I'm off there for a couple of weeks. I'm driving down from Roscoth so I could possibly take in a good show cave en-route with the missus. Any advice greatly appreciated.

I'm off to valle les eaux claire in a couple of weeks to do some sport climbing thought I might find out some info on local caves. The last time I was there I noticed some smallish caves but didn't veture in any. Any info would be appreciated.

Should I be logging my dig trips in my records to provide an overall picture of my experience and if so should I log them together with an estimation of total hours spent underground or seperately?

This week Choomsend Chasm was on the agenda and after meeting up at The Ten Tors Minty, Rob and I departed for the cave. I was a little unsure how to find the quarry as the last time I visited it was dark and I was merrily following along not paying too much attention.  With minimum fuss we...

Somebody posed this question to me months ago and its been annoying me ever since  ...  I thought I'd share the frustration and hopefully get more to add to the list! Here goes: There are more than 20 actors and actresses that have starred in two separate sets of trilogies, the actor or...

My first photography effort. I know there's loads of issues with composition, lighting and stuff but any constructive criticism / advice appreciated. My biggest problem seemed to be keeping my equipment clean dry and the lens of my waterproof housing blemish free... I took it out in the...

I'm just getting into cave photography.  I've only done 1 trip so far with little success and will be uploading some shots for criticism soon  ;D Despite my limited experience I have already discovered that camera care is half the battle and I wondered if anybody has insured their equipment for...

I'm planning to go to Mendip at the weekend and I want a fun tackleless trip?  :-\ I haven't done Goatschurch so that's an option but wondered what other options people would recommend.

Does anybody know anything about Hollywell Sea cave? I poked my head in the other day and saw the rig.  Does anyone know how old it is and what he access agreement is and weather its worth the trip?  :-\

I placed an order for a Canon G10 yesterday at an awesome price of ?329.00 from:  http://www.crazycameras.co.uk/ Feeling pretty chuffed with myself I proceeded to look into the company (So foolish not to have done this before) Anyway I discovered this thread on a forum...

I was chatting to a non-caving friend about digging this morning and he said that he thought a pressure washer and a pump system to send it back out might be useful in confined spaces for removing large quantities of mud in a short space of time. I haven't done a lot of digging and I just...
