Some of my fellow Brynmawr CC members have gone a little stir crazy over the various lockdowns... and this is the result. https://youtu.be/w9kNSEpZ-5I

I?ve come across this online, it?s mainly focussed on slack lining, but may be of interest to some. https://76cbaa5c-cbc2-41e7-9222-3716b5892c31.filesusr.com/ugd/c990e4_80b25da2394d4359b8e8e986eabba075.pdf

I'm driving to Austrans for the Berger trip later this month, but have 2.5 days to drive from Calais to Austrans and was thinking of taking in some WW1 and WW2 sites along the way. Info/suggestions welcome! Thanks

What baselayers do people wear? I've got an AV under suit, but find I still get cold

Just found this... http://souterweb.free.fr/boitaoutils/eclairage/annexes/Fabrication%20personnelle%20de%20batteries%20compatibles%20Scurion.pdf Even with my limited (read:non-existent) French, it looks fairly straight forward. Has anyone tried? Or does anyone with better French than I read...

Is there a caving section this year at the Kendal Film Festival? I have been onto the website but I can?t see anything listed... or maybe my brain is still addled from the Goats Leap at HE??

I am on a weeks long work related training course in York week commencing 1 October. I'd been keen for a weekend caving the weekend before 28/29/30 Sept and the weekend after 5/6/7 October. Would stay at a Dales caving hut for both weekends. Are there any trips happening in the area then...

I?m looking to buy one. Mainly the firing pin, I could probably source the rest locally. Does anyone have one for sale or would know where I could get one from?

A conversation with a new club member this afternoon has prompted a thought, what are the 'essential reads' for cavers? My main focus is Blaenavon, Llangattock over to Trefil, so I'd start with: - Chelsea SS Llangattock Exploration Journal (Vol 19, 1992) - Limestones and Caves of Wales, Trevor...

Is anyone going? Did anyone go last year and publish any reports?

The zip on my AV undersuit is broken, so I need a new one fitted. My auntie will fit it, I just need to source the materials. Has anyone ever done this? Can?t anyone recommend a zip? Cheers  :beer2:

Is there a list of any expeditions in 2018 looking for members/volunteers/victims? I know Dachstein 2018 are looking for members, but I'm not a huge fan of SRT. Suggestions? TIA

Some cave diving action on the BBC. It?s on right now, and will obviously be on iPlayer.

Found: 1 large turd in Haggis Basher 1. Left in situ. Would be great if the owner were to remove it as part of the ongoing effort to tidy the cave up.

I was just reading about the $100 home made Muon detector built by some engineers at MIT in the link below: http://news.mit.edu/2017/handheld-muon-detector-1121 It got me thinking about the use of muon tomography to find unknown cave passage. I'm not an expert in particle physics or...

We found two watches in the streamway of Ogof Clogwyn this evening. Accurate description of either watch will secure it's return.

Sadly the links to Llangattock, Llangynidr and Cwm Afon Survex data on the Cave registry website (http://cave-registry.org.uk/) are all blank, with no survex files posted. Does anyone have any they'd be willing to share with myself (an interested party) and/or with the Cave Registry Data...

Let me start by saying I don't like the term 'caving challenges' but I can't think of a different name (suggestions?). Can anyone suggest some routes that would be considered a 'challenge'? The obvious one to me would be the Aggy Grand Circlr (clockwise) following by the Outer Circle...

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a copy of the 4th edition of 'The Caves of South Wales' by T. Stradford? There are 2 copies of the book available on amazon but it doesn't state what vroom they are. Apparently there is a new copy of the 4th edition available on Amazon in Japan...

Would it be possible for someone to send me the coordinates of the car parking for Otter Hole? I'm on a trip in the morning and have the directions but can't seem to find an obvious parking place on Google Earth. Thanks :beer2:
