WIN 100m of SPANSET ROPE!!
www.spanset.co.uk
It's Freshers at the moment and many University clubs are working hard, encouraging a new generation of people to our sport - well done to you all!
Back in the day, I was one of those freshers yet, despite some fun trips and so much effort by BUSS, not many of the intial intake became active cavers and longer term club members. So what is it that persuades 'newbies' to carry on caving after those first few trips? For me it was the 55ft pitch in Pool Sink - OMG was it hard to climb that ladder on the way out
, I was so, so tired. I'd never had to push myself like that before, but I did it and the feeling of achievement was huge - I was hooked 
Tell us what you enjoyed about this new sport to keep you coming back for more, what/who inspired you? - what got you hooked?! Repetition is fine - maybe everyone will have similar reasons, not a problem.
