Looking for a bit of advice on what kit I should be acquiring this year. I graduate (well hopefully) in July, by which time I will be wanting to venture into the big world of caving without having to rely on my uni club for gear preferably. What do people recommend for starting out?
I have managed to scrounge up money to get a full SRT kit this year as well as persuading my parents to get me a helmet for christmas to accompany my new light (thanks Tony). I'll get myself an oversuit when I can decide which one I want... (any recommendations welcome)
I'm looking for advice more towards tackle and good rope sizes (or on the alternative I might just get 200m and cut it up to different sizes).
e.g. how many carabiners/maillons to start with to give me a good foundation?
(currently procrastinating my summative based on palaeolithic cave art so I can justify asking at this time...)
