A reminder folks to bring your SRT kit to Hidden Earth.  The more of the 'Cavers Competitions' you enter, the more raffle tickets you will receive - you don't have to be the fastest or the best, just enter and have a go and you get a ticket/s.  Last year saw lots of folks rolling ladders and stuffing tackle sacks but also cavers wishing they had brought their SRT kits so they could have a go at the rope course etc

Looking forward to seeing you this weekend - do come and see us and say hello on the UKC stand
