As an aside, I've made a lot of use of this forum since caving was put on hold.
Just musing - we're very luck to have this resource, which is maintained to such a high standard.
Thank you forum owners!  (y)

Bless you  :kiss2:

I went down Swinsto after 2 years in the wilderness.  Boy did it hurt my elbows and shoulders.  I recommend shoulder charging the walls as you walk round the house to keep those shoulders tough.

When your eyes have to adjust to bright daylight because you've eventually left the house, rather than a cave.

Well, thanks to Boris and is comrades in arms I can now devote 100 percent to free time and 0 percent to caving.  Lovely.

You have taken to pointlessly surveying the local stone mines (within walking distance, so local) so at least you are underground, even if you will never finish! (absolute maze).

3 trips down 550m surveyed, I guess the survey will be pretty??? Not like anyone will ever use it lol.

Still the blizzards on the walk back across the hill on Wednesday were fun?

Are they the ones where there was that CRO call out many years ago with folk getting lost?
If I remember right they were in there a day or two before being located.

Nah those are further away from me and I really would need several decades to survey those. This one I am doing is more stable and a bit smaller, prob about 5km of passages, rather than 200km!

Still even these are definitely within easy cycling distance...

So you will end with a map like this ?

Wow, which mine is that? I assume that's the original mine survey not how it is now survey like mine will be.

When you've added a UK Caving shortcut to your home screen and your morning routine now consists of checking UK caving and staring endlessly at the Easegill surveys you glued to your ceiling so that you can go 'caving' from your bed.

I went to Maracaibo and back before 10am today!
