The 3 man lift is still a firm favourite up at Gaping Gill.At the Golden Lion in Settle there is/was a square pillar, cavers used to see how many times they could go around it at the top.
And there is the 3 man lift!

Sounds like the tar barrel event held at Ottery St. Mary every November 5th!Really glad to see Pass The Burning Box is already on the list. An absolute classic for surface digs involving a firepit (as most of ours do, to keep warm in winter or repel midges in summer). A large sturdy cardboard box has a nicely burning log placed inside and is then quickly sealed up. The box is then lobbed from one digger to another. Over the course of 2-3 minutes said box goes from smoldering, to on fire, to an inferno. The loser is the person first to wimp out of catching it and throwing it onwards. As with most caving games, a trip to A&E is a high probability!
Ohh, yesss. . . which reminds me of the brass "spin the wheel" blowpipe challenge. ;-)
There's a bread oven in what is now Lake House, previously the Bunk Barn in Clapham. Johnny proposed to Jude in it. Apparently it's a cavers' tradition to do so: it's in the Daily Mail so it must be true!Is the bread-oven challenge in The Hunters still a thing?
Not anymore, just don't ask.........Is the bread-oven challenge in The Hunters still a thing?
Tried to convince a couple of newbies to have a go a couple of weeks back, but they weren't up for it.Is the bread-oven challenge in The Hunters still a thing?
