I got my hands on a book I've been hunting down for a while. Even included a real photo taped inside the cover, and signed by the author.

As I was born on the Furness peninsula, I thought it might be a curious read View attachment 23647View attachment 23648

The gap between "Underground" and "in" really messes with my sense of neatness/kerning. I can't look at it without feeling uneasy.

Suggests that it should have been:
"Underground
in Furness"
but typesetter messed up (& ukcaving can't cope with tabbing)

 

[jonnybellman]

Ha, that's so true. I hadn't even noticed!

I was aware of a newer one, but I'll take what I can get my hands on.

What a pity for you, cap n chris . . . or should it be Cap'n Chris?

Should be the latter, yes, but if memory serves punctuation in Usernames wasn't permitted all those years ago. So IIWII.

 

[Fulk]

Sorry, cap n . . my remark wasn't meant seriously; just a bit of mickey-taking.

Walking in the woods behind my house with Nala and Ralf. Nala checking out a sink that has been opening for the last few years, Ralf preferred picking blackberries

Time to whip out the shovels?

I've been itching to get out lately. I settled instead for a few laps up & down my practice rope. I even turned the lights off and used a headlamp to make it seem more authentic...

Prepping for Tuesday. Bought scaffold clips from Wellington Scaffolding at Greenham near Wellington. All sorts here sold second hand. £2 per clip. Designing mud retaining boards to be U clamped to a pole. Charging batteries. Packing bag with angle grinder . Adding photos to Flickr and Photobucket. 26,000 plus images there now but not all caving. ( heck of a lot are ! ). Photobucket double images if you dont reload the page plus they keep moving menu stuff around. For me its a paid for sub. Unlimited. Now 9606 photos and 196 videos. As of yesterday getting used to be age 78.

Stood holding a ladder getting rained on with mud and water whilst my partner cleaned my parents gutters thinking it wasn't that dissimilar to caving the night before..

 

[Alex]

Another round of physiotherapy, trying to get my leg ready for caving properly.

 

[hannahb]

Did some cleaning and tidying at Bull Pot Farm and helped the hut warden with some things. Stood around in the toilets for a long time looking at pipes

Watched the Repair Shop on iplayer where Sid Perou's Giles Barker award was repaired.
Didn't realise Sid had hung from a hot air balloon to get the shop! Both Sid and caving came across really well
