Yes, definitely guilty!

That looks brilliant - well done! I made a purple suit in Polartec Powerstretch - but it makes me look like Tinky Winky from the Teletubbies :-(

Whereabouts will you be staying, Adis? Anywhere near the Yorkshire Dales? That's the best area for caving (just ignore what the southerners say, they're only jealous).

Haha, you're trying to needle me, aren't you?

Huh, it's not even a tapestry - it's an embroidery!

According to Yorkshire Ramblers, Fox Holes is "a “fortified” rock shelter which is probably unique in England" . . .

"OK, off to talk to the cats. I get more sense out of them." Especially for Fulk . . .

The best descender depends very much on what sort of caves you visit. Whereabouts do you cave, Masabust?

How about a Dales caver who will be in the Mendips soon? I should be able to collect them next weekend, and deliver them at Easter.

That's exactly what happened with our local council and the police! The police send over information about the location of road accidents, in case junctions need to be modified, or speed limits introduced. But some of the collisions appeared to be taking place in the river, or in fields.

Profabrics in Cheshire sell strips of 3mm single-sided neoprene (which presumably is stretchier than 4mm) https://www.profabrics.co.uk/collections/outdoor-fabric-specialist-fabrics/products/neoprene-127cm-x-10cm-strip

But that's exactly what "science" was, until relatively recently. Collecting fossils, collecting bird's eggs, collecting butterflies. The museums are full of these collections.

Not so very different to Victorian trophy-hunters going round shooting things, I suppose.

Maybe it's not recognising you as a BCA member. You're not really called The Hungry Troglobite, are you?

Do you need any other kit for this group? I certainly have unused stuff I could donate to a worthy cause.

Did you offer to lick it off?

Doh! I mis-read that as you were still at the bottom of the pitch! (You're not, are you?)

I keep stuff secure in my bra (not chocalate, obviously). You'd also have room for a couple of large pork pies ;-)

I guess that tells us more about the writer than the subject . . .
