have you seen it all

[badger]

thought I had seen it all when I witnessed persons celebrating not sure what but caving in swildons in DJ's, but yesterday was even better a caver in swildons wet suit cut off to just below the knee and bare feet!!!!!!!

 

[caverholic]

Probably some foolish students as there were loads of us down this weekend.

Did the person look as if they had one hell of a hangover?

I would say the worst bit about swildons with no shoes would be the bl**dy stinging nettles in the field as you walk across

Hmmmm.... seem to remember going through Long Churn naked except for lamp and wellies....students eh? wot a life.

Perhaps I missed a meeting but.... aren't students supposedly intelligent?

What gave you that idea? 

 

[cap n chris]

Well, aren't they supposed to be able to pass A-level exams which are widely reported to be quite difficult nowadays?....

I also came across this barefooted 'caver' yesterday in Swildons and narrowly avoided him and his daughter latching on as he seemed a little unsure as to what this caving business is all about!! I'm sure he had a bit of an adventure though!! He seemed to have an interest in 'Rescue from Adventurous Places' from what I could gather when he was chattering away in a rather thick German accent....I hope his dreams didn't come true!

A few weeks ago in Lower Long Churn a group of 'cavers' passed by wearing shorts, T shirts and flip flops and carrying a ladder so I guess they were heading down the Dollytubs!! What fun!!

Intelligent enough to use Google to find all their coursework....

 

[Hatstand]

You sure it wasnt the SMCC, they apparently (I am told ) have been going to caves in fancy dress  I like the idea so much prepare to hear rumours of an actual sighting of a huge hamster roaming Box.

 

[Chris J]

his name is Walley (pronounced Wally) as in Where's Wally? - apparently in Swildons!

He is an unusual character who first popped up in Southampton at our club meet quite a few years ago. Then he re-surfaced yesterday.

 

[cap n chris]

Is this a case of nominative determinism?

i.e.

Q: "Who's the Wally?"...

A: "Wally".

Nothing wrong in caving in shorts & tee shirt. Not so sure about the flip flops, though.

Reminds me of the story of Tensing visiting Snowdonia after the succesful Everest trip, walking up Crib Goch in carpet slippers to be met by the park warden who said he "couldnt go up there in those" So he took them off and carried on barefoot.
(Yes I know I probably have the details wrong and its a rural myth, but I like it)

It would only have been the Shepton if they were in drag or wearing fishnets and womens underwear, they're known for it, any excuse. :spank:
