Title: Thursday trip 8th November.
Post by: Stephen Davies on Nov 05, 2018, 11:56 AM
Apologies for late notice of club trip this week.

As it is looking more positive again, this week's trip will be to Doug's shaft where they are hoping to get under the timbers.  

MEET TIME: 6:30pm onwards.
MEET POINT: Doug's Manor
EQUIPMENT: Caving suit/overalls, helmet and lamp, gloves, wellies/boots. Also recommend a change of clothes and waterproofs dependant on the weather.

Enjoy, Steve.

PS. I will try to get out caving but if not, will see you in the pub. ?

Not trying to steal anyone from the other trips here but I have today rigged up electricity to the dig, I am hoping to have an electric winch going by tomorrow, should make it a bit easier.
have spare helmet if anyone needs it.

Sadly, I won't make it tomorrow as I have a afternoon pub crawl to attend. I really don't want to have to do this, but some of us have to keep the real ale pubs solvent  :evil:

Should be out next week to tour the extensive workings from Doug's completed dig or poke around the far reaches of GB.

I've been left holding the kids tonight, I would much prefer to be sat in a hole full of mud, I wonder if anyone with kids think I'm joking.

Are you seriously comparing Cae Mawr to M&S? Well I suppose they are both an over-hyped shit hole and both on the brink of collapse  :lol: .  Of course, I'll be back at Bryn Celyn next year; the Harrods of all caving digs  :whistle:
