Tested my new home-made caving lamp today. Seems stable at 6400lm. Gets hot though.....

Chris.

How can you possibly cope with such a dim lamp?

What the heck are you using it for, cooking sausages?

Crawled into a cave that was nearly a full twenty metres long and inadvertently made a picturesque waterfall run very, very brown.

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

Went caving. :D 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. :D

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

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.
