I'm new to caving. I have a torch and a hard hat and was wonding if there any caves in the Mendip Hills?

Sad to say, but there are no caves of any significance in the Mendip Hills. For proper caves you need to go to Devon or the Forest of Dean, neither of which are easy to reach unless you own a car, pony & trap or pogo stick. If you are lucky enough to own all three, then you're too rich to take up caving anyways and you should take up golf instead. Most golf courses have more holes than any of the caving regions in Britain.

Good luck on your quest, Badgersarse!

Thats very sad to hear. Luckily I still haven't opened the Corn Flakes that contain my new torch so I guess I can take them back and change them for Alpen instead - phew a close shave indeed.

...do golf clubs come in different sizes?

How old are you Mr Badger and more importantly how tall are you ?

'...they' can me Peter Pan and well it depends on how close I am. Does size matter?

You will love it Mr Badger, a nice gentle stroll down the streamway with myself and an old person who never does his helmet up, no cornish piskie as he has been deported back to Cornwall for stealing healing stones

Only a few small ducts ............

Fancy it then.

Stu

PS. You may have to do a little work at the end

Thats sounds a little reckless. Do they let old people go caving?

Stupot · « **Reply #8 on:** October 06, 2006, 07:57:55 pm »

Not normally as obviously they can be a hazard with their zimmer frames in tight rifts, and on several occasions MRO have had to free them from snagged piss sacks

They allow this certain old person caving because apparently (rumour has it) that he is MRO, but then more importantly should the MRO allow old people ?

Very controversial, but valid

I trust you're not making a connection between 'Dads Army' and the MRO?

Dear Caving UK

I did a caving trip 93 years ago and I was so excited I haven't had a shave since. I want to do another and someone said I should go for something really really strenuous before I get too old and completely out to lunch. My sedan chair will get me as far as Somersetceistershire but not much further. What do you suggest and is there anything that will prevent my beard getting caught on the velcro of my chin strap, leaving a burning sensation in the chin region?
