Dear God. What the hell have you done to the forum? Just logged in and it's green. Very green. And all over the place. If that's the future, I don't want it!

Hi all, Heading down to the Devon SS hut for the New Year. I've never done any caving in Devon so, apart from the obvious (Prid, Bakers Pit and Dog Hole) are there any little known wonders I should be going for? Also, does anyone know where I can get surveys for the above 3? Thanks in...

What's the dumbest thing you've ever done underground? Concreting Drws Cefn

Given the ridiculously cheap prices at the moment you can pick up a holiday home in Bulgaria for three or four thousand quid if you don't mind a bit of work. I know that Gaz Parry has just bought property out there. It's a bit of a pipe dream but has anyone done much climbing or caving (not...

The sump is returning this year in the SpeleOlympics but there is currently a bit of a drought. Does anyone have any playballs, plastic ducks or the like spare? It's a fun event and, being a tight git, I'd rather not spend money on them if I can help it. Donations preferred but, if required...

Once again, there's a thread running and someone is complaining that it has gone "off topic" Is that such a bad thing? If you're chatting with some friends, maybe down the pub, you don't keep to a rigid framework. Nobody complains if the conversation  moves on. It ebbs and flows and, generally...

Would this be suitable for one of the new northern caving clubs with few members that seem to be springing up? www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-29505606.html?utm_campaign=socmed&utm_medium=social&utm_source=FBPAGE&utm_content=47264981

No it's not. It's ordering. It's what you do when something isn't immediately available. Pre-ordering would be before you ordered it which, by definition, it isn't. Because you've ordered it! Thank you.

Found a belay plate somewhere near Wter Chamber. If yours, PM me and I'll arrange return. Nigel.

Nothing to do with caving but here goes! I'm off to the rugby this weekend to watch Harlequins (hurrah) beat Leicester (boo) but my mate has had to drop out, hence one spare ticket available. South Stand, Middle Tier. Unwilling to post this close to the event in case it doesn't get there in...

Is this just a puff piece for indirect advertising or does anybody think they are serious? Could this ever happen in a SSSI? http://www.thewestonmercury.co.uk/news/business/cable_cars_for_somerset_village_1_1222189

For a placcie bag! Bloody hell, must get my spare gear out. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Inglesport-giant-green-plastic-sack-bag-caving-potholing-/220958488907?pt=UK_Sporting_Goods_Climbing_Mountaineering&hash=item337226f94b#ht_500wt_1202

Carrying on from the thread from Amy (IM SO EXCITEDDD) there seems to have been a bit of a gauntlet thrown down on cave entrances and closeness to huts/pubs. I reckon the Mendips can win this one so here goes. Wessec CC to North Hill Swallett. Appx. 100m (I'm guessing, if anyone gets closer...

I thought I knew GB reasonably well but yesterday I had pointed out to me something I hadn't seen before. Immediately on entering into the main chamber rift from the short way in (not Devils Elbow) there are 4 rungs of an Electron ladder hanging from the centre of the roof. There appears to...

Hi there. Currently have a Bristol Hanworthy 4.5 cu.ft/min compressor for sale. Excellent condition and very lightly used. So lightly used that I really can't justify keeping it! 240 volt on a normal 3 pin plug. Currently at the Wessex but can bring back to Surrey/London area. Bargain at only...

As some of you at Hidden Earth know, Lee has handed over the reins of his excellent and popular Speleo-olympics after many years of sterling sevice.  :clap2: Unfortunately he didn't hand over the two tacke bags used.  :down: The rather feeble excuse offered was that without them, he wouldn't...

Good luck and best wishes to everyone involved. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-14938837
