    CHECC 'WORST CAVE YOU'VE EVER DONE' COMP 2022

    ...continued from above Side note 2: A ‘pot’ or ‘pitch’ is a name that should be reserved for a piece of cave requiring some form of technical ability to pass. This can, in exceptional cases, be just a handline though really a ladder, or better a rope and SRT kit, should be required for a pot...

    CHECC 'WORST CAVE YOU'VE EVER DONE' COMP 2022

    When I’m in Wigmore there’s no place I’d rather be… Myself, Ben Wynn and Nicholas Stylianou recently took a trip to Wigmore swallet, on eastern Mendip. After having done most of the ‘big trips’ on Mendip, I had found myself scouring Mendip Underground for ideas for my next trip, and to start...

    Furry suit re-fluffing

    I've a couple of furry suits which have lost their original fluff and warmth, the label says to 'Brush to restore pile'. I've tried this with limited and slow success, does anyone have any top tips for restoring fluffiness? Thinking of the type of brush etc.?

    Lost: Tackle sack and ladder, swildons

    I've managed to misplace a purple tackle sack with a ladder and lifeline that I used on a Swildon's trip recently. It's possible that I left it at the barn in a moment of forgetfulness! Has anyone seen it? (The rope will be marked UBSS) TIA!

    The rope that I won!

    I've been rubbish at taking cameras underground recently, but here are some pictures of me using my shiny new 100m of SpanSet rope than I won overground! It turns out you can have a lot of fun in a student house with two entrances to the attic...!

    Beginners SRT trips

    The CHECC guide for students caving in Yorkshire is good too as it gives an indication of the SRT difficulty of the cave, as well as the physical/routefinding difficulty. https://checc.org/student-caving-trip-options-in-the-yorkshire-dales/

    WIN 100m of SpanSet rope!!

    I joined UBSS (Bristol University) as a fresher in 2018. I arrived at Uni as a cyclist, but quickly sussed out that the cavers were a much more fun and sociable bunch than the cyclists (with a much better taste in beer!). My first trips were in OFD in South Wales, we started out with Cwm Dwr...
