What caving related thing did you do today?

[jonnyrocketboots]

Just been to pick up my caving attire that's been fermenting in a Dinglesport green bag all week in the back of my mates van.  After a very hot and very sweaty day out in Long Kin West last Sunday.  Off for a weekend in OFD II and others this in South Wales this bank hols too.  I not going to be very popular as I smell like a mixture of dead sheep and wet dog!

Least I'll have room at the bar!!

Cleaned gear after a trip to a local project yesterday. Found a new lead on that trip! 

Also learned how to overlay maps on Google Earth - local geology maps are full of useful info. Hopefully leads to more prospects!

Treated myself to a new harness from Mr Seddon (Picos!) after a two year hiatus from caving (I know...!)..!

Digging, leading to more questions than answers

 

[snoboy]

Went caving. Located a cave that hasn't been visited by cavers since the 80s as far as any of us know, and explored 50m of passage that wasn't on that survey.

Went halfway down Maskhill before realising it wasn't Oxlow. 

 

[simonsays]

Cleaned my helmet.

No, really....

Sunday - Waited in for Autoglass to come fix my cave wagon. Prepped some materials for a CIC revalidation workshop. Wished I'd gone down JH instead.

Went to hidden earth for the first time in my 5 year caving career, was well worth the 20 minute trek lol. But seriously well done to all those involved it was a fabulous event and next time I will remember to bring my camera (or a CD with photos on) to submit my own photos

Watched a modern Hollywood take on Journey to the Centre of the Earth, a knowledgeable & restrained study of both cave & mine exploration.

With a T-Rex & a tidy blonde obviously.

I am genuinely surprised that such an ardent caver has taken 5 years to discover the BCRA conference (as it used to be called, now HE) something to do with the  marketing of this event? or comunication at club level?

I think its mainly just geography.

Yes,  I admit  never really took an interest in it until more recently. I had no idea it goes into the interesting expedition stuff and there would be so much to do and see, I thought it was things for the older "generation". But mainly I guess I never fancied traveling all that way and not doing any caving.  In the last few years I would have gone but I knew no one else who was going . But this time loads I knew went of course.

Hopefully I can entice someone to come with me to Mendips next year as I definitely want to go back.

Did some number crunching and labelling on a Therion survey drawing.
