I think the two largest attended CHECC forum weekends I worked at were Castleton Rotary Centre in 2008, about 320 + staff, and Yoxter on Mendip in 2012, over 350 + staff. 200+ shouldn't be too difficult I'd have thought. And I never poisoned anyone........unintentionally

Very interesting article on the most recent discoveries from the Rising Star Caves of South Africa. Her previous video also touched on some cave related aspects of Neanderthal society.

I went to see Dweezil Zappa at Colston Hall in Bristol, and two rows in front of me was mrodoc. A few years earlier I was watching my local evening news, there was a report about young offenders doing community/conservation work at the RSPB headquarters, the person in charge of the work was...

I just found this funny.....and let's face it, we probably all know someone like this..... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-18898642

Now not being blessed with the largest of trouser snakes (around 1.5") when flaccid I tend to find during a chilly trip I tend to loose said member altogether and trying to urinate is virtually impossible. Are there any tips on how I can keep percy visible, i.e be able to get a grip on him so...

Just noticed that at 9p.m. tonight on Nat. Geo T.V. channel is a one hour documentary on  Mexico's Cueva de los Crystales.. Should prove an interesting way to liven up a boring Sunday Evening.

Just seen this on channel 4 news, a report on the work of Durham University climatologists who are using stall from a Polish cave to determine past weather patterns, and, hopefully future ones too...

Just seen this report on the BBC, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8027650.stm It looks quite interesting, not only from a historical point, but also for the use of  the technology to actually create the images seen here. Virtual caving is one step closer.

I was over at John Buxtons yesterday to pick up some C.D.G. stuff. Whilst there He showed Me some old caving books that He had, and pointed out that the odd looking gear worn by Him in one photo. was some of the first cave diving kit ever made, and that it was gathering dust in His shed. I...
