If only you lot hadn't fished so intensively back in the good old days, hay? Personally I think life is better with calamari, pizza, takeaways and curry. 

It was good seeing you

Glad its been sorted out, and am not at all surprised to hear that it only took a gentle kick. It was definitely avoidable with care, but as you say would have been game over for anyone underneath a caver who casually stood on it (as the polish suggests generations of cavers did before it...

Thanks for the love for ACC. We are really pleased with the clothes UKC has donated, those leggings fit Sophie really well

Juniper Gulf had been on my hit list since a New Year a while ago. Jinni and friends had waded to it through snow six foot deep, but despite their best efforts they had failed to dig out any bolts. ACC doesn?t have enough rope for Juniper, so it had remained on the list till EuroSpeleo...

A womad t-shirt at that

Aber will get there, eventually. Thanks for organising a great prize, and please don't equate lack of entries for lack of enthusiasm :)

Going to Calsbad when I was 3 made me want to grow up and become a caver

There not lying in that bottom photo are they.

Slightly off topic, but I read in an in flight magazine that the monks have had to down size and now use collies. 

Sam - safeguarding training still gives me flashbacks. I do remember their names, fyi.  Ari - twisted ankles are the epitome of 'good trip' Elaine - Thanks.

This trip lurched from near miss to close shave, not quite ending in disaster. The freshers first started wishing they?d joined the mountaineers when it turned out their heads were too big for the helmets, and that one of helmets light didn?t work. A fresher, C, got my scurion, while I played...
