We were surprised a couple of years ago when we had to explain to a Fresher (mentioning no names, Jon) that it's not normal to piss in your oversuit... :blink: :yucky:

As the leader of said first group I?d like to say this is slander, I derigged the ladder and spent five minutes scouring the top of the pitch looking for a ladder. Nothing was found and it was assumed they were then using the srt rope that was still there!A_Northerner said:This year CHECC was in the Peak District and there were the usual few dozen trips down Giants. One group left their kit to be rigged by the team ahead of them and this wasn't understood by the first team de-rigging. Cue a large group of very cold novice students having a mini rave in Garlands to keep warm while rescue came, their rigging kit well within sight!
