That is top drawer!

I remember caves and caving being on about 20 years ago

Can anybody tell us what the panellists guessed at as to what Alex, Clive and Dave had done?

You can watch it on iPlayer...

You can read the original Charterhouse article inspiring the missing words snippet here : CSS NL Vol. 64 Nos. 1-3 Jan-Mar 2022 (page 7).

And a quick mention that all the CSS newsletters from the most recent back to 2020 are freely available for download on the club website at https://chelseaspelaeo.org/club/newsletter (shameless plug from me as webmaster (and newsletter editor!)).

Do they alert you to using your magazine for the quiz or is it a surprise?

My sister said before that edition was aired that Caves and Caving should be on HIGN

Hat Trick Productions contacted the club out of the blue several weeks ago to ask if they could potentially use it in this series, and of course we said yes. No idea how their researchers picked up on it, just happy to receive some national publicity (and relieved they didn't take the mickey when it appeared on the show!).

The Old Ruminator is always contributing to the CSS Journal so disappointed he wasn't mentioned!

Tenuously linked to the original post here, but topical/news related, has anyone seen the excellent photo (Danny Lawson) that made it into this week's BBC the week in pictures?

Week in pictures: 27 May - 2 June 2023

A selection of striking images from around the world, taken over the past seven days.

It was 'Steiner forgot his wellies' on another trip.

Seems that the pic was taken quite a few years ago:

Having only just watched it, they only showed Paul's response, which wasn't particularly inspired - Alex didn't turn up etc
