One of my club thinks he left 14 maillons (4*8mm, 5*7mm, 5*6mm stainless steel) attached to a p-bolt at the top of Diccan on Thursday or Friday. They're all marked with blue & white tape.
Between 3 and 7 pm on Friday the 13th of April. Maybe they fell down the pitch during the derig, or perhaps a conscientious caver picked them up whilst we were lower down?
Don't think anyone was down Diccan on Saturday (unless they were there very early morning or much later on in the evening) as the lane was nearly empty at midday when I arrived, the only other vehicle not in our group was a minibus and we all know where they were.. No other vehicles in the lane when we got out either!!
Well they could have been anywhere, but yes, we were having a great time in Upper and Lower Long Churn, and Wilson's Cave. Everyone has to start somewhere, and the young people with me were as keen and pleasant a bunch of people as I have ever had the pleasure to take underground. This is more than can be said for the yellow-suited chap who raced by us on the way to Dolly-Tubs, without even bothering to say hello.
Hardly 'raced by' as I waited a few minutes for your group to emerge from the crawl before passing you and I don't recall you bothering to say hello either...
