Good to hear it's back ☺️

Found the lost wellie

We were on his walk round Dylan Thomas's Newquay!

That's much earlier than I realised. I believe it was moved partly because so many vehicles got broken into, but that maybe a folk story

I'm leaning towards late 80s probably start of the 90s but I only went to two maybe three at UMIST. I can't remember where the first one was after UMIST. Was it Bristol Uni?

Repetition! There must be some way of deleting!

Can anyone remember which were the years the Conference took place in Manchester?

I think I've said this before...but Soreen maltcake -buttered optional- tastes the same however battered it gets!

How have I missed 'vomissements' as a word in French!

Just a question. Is this university management led or the students unions not wanting to engage with caving?

Queen's Jubbly

Have to say I can relate to hannahb's experience of working hard to get them off but have always blamed my choice of socks. The bonus is they don't slip and cause blisters and are secure when climbing

Can't fault trad. black Dunlops I do need room for calves and have small feet. My Dunlops lasted for ages and were good to climb in. I can only recommend trying a few pairs on with your version of caving socks. If they fit grit your teeth and buy them - although mine were not too expensive from...

Note to self Look at the date of the thread before posting 😣

T.A.J Braithwaite was a WCC member - their first Welsh Secretary I think, poss 1938. He studied at University College Wales, def involved with Neath Valley as his name appears in the guide to South Wales. Not to be confused with caving brother/s Platten seems to have moved over from Mendip to...
