Someone was throwing out old rope, I took the strands out of the middle and got some sections of handy string for free! Who needs a ball of string when you got rope!

GGW? Google says “girls gone wild”, which has now been sold to “bang bros”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girls_Gone_Wild_(franchise)

I was asked to Introduce myself as The Ghar Parau Treasurer a few months ago, but I had no news to speak of at the time. However, we have this week issued the main grants in the Spring 2025 Funding round to all of the expeditions that were awarded funding by the Charity The Ghar Parau...

A rope has been mislaid at the TSG, someone else’s. Does anyone know who’s it is?

Completely over my head - some assistance below from Cambridge dictionary: spenny adjective UK slang UK /ˈspen.i/ US /ˈspen.i/ Add to word list expensive: Those boots are very nice but very spenny. Fewer examples I like that place, but it's kinda spenny. Spenny or penny - do cheap...

Ability to create prime points, ie points which you wish to join on another cave survey which the original was missing. I’ll have a think for more, but am mindful that my own extended elevation surveys would be difficult to back engineer to ’original’ data. Close as damn it would be great...

Worth considering perhaps is the Meshtastic, which is a “modern” radio wave in air method of communicating messages in text form along a passage (or apparently has been used to live track cave prospectors on the surface without phone signal). I think it was the cucc Austria trip which did this...

One of the Tresviso lot uses a spit driver and creates a short .5cm hole or less, and if required dots the centre with nail varnish. But only for “prime” points, ones which they will definitely need to return to. Points in the middle of boulder chokes should probably be regarded as not...

I never take one for west swirl passage, there is usually a coloured rope on there which has been threaded. It should be fairly hard to remove (due to the length of re thread) for good reason it’s a nice piece of rope to have in there. I know where the rope came from a few years back and know...

Zomjon is probably the man to speak to about matlock. Have fun!

Second that! Based on similar places in Yorkshire but with legally different names, yet the main town where the series is based is “not too far from leeds”. Gallows view one of the first books gives maps of the town and locality, in the latest book I’m reading (about two narrow boats being set...

Wye, lathkill, derwent (north and south) are your closest “catchment’s” to bakewell.

It does when you get one on the the old dog and bone, I called one out for being a bot quite early, and it said “bot underscore message, bot underscore message”. And then ended its call.

Apparently lepit means sticky in Czech, bud could be friend, short for buddy. So maybe the name sticky friend is throwing the internet off. https://www.dict.com/czech-english/lepit

I see a flourishing acting career ahead of you. At least until a couple of weeks before the panto season finishes.

The craven anniversary journal is incredible, I picked it up last week incidentally. Thank you to the craven for furnishing me with a copy. Great for a pictorial and wordy rundown of their many years of caving.

Scrap that! 250L an hour, approx 4litres a minute

Rough calc, Approx 250L of water every 10mins?
