UCET Trip Advisor

Howdy Doody,

I thought I would drop you a quick line and let you know you are very welcome to come on our next adventure into the underworld of Hades and the lost empire of ancient Hellenes. The next trip and the details are;

Location : Poacher’s Cave
Meet Place : Cilcain Bridge
Meet Date : Thursday 10th February 2022
Meet Time : 6:30pm-6:45pm
Requirements : Wellies, overalls, helmet, lamp.

Link to Parking : https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.1777487,-3.2166131,3a,75y,220.59h,79.5t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s0OsETA0IGjHzYHLCN1Ibag!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D0OsETA0IGjHzYHLCN1Ibag%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D325.86884%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en-GB

Nearest Postcode : CH7 5NJ

Notes : We have a couple of new members and are looking for support for the trip. Additionally, this is a great opportunity for you if you have not seen Poacher’s cave yourself. Even better, it’s an opportunity to bring a friend who is interested to the see the wonders that lay hidden beneath our feet.

You will get wet.

If you do fancy coming, please could you let me know by replying to the forum and also let me know if you need to borrow a helmet with a lamp.

Thanks !

See you soon…..

:)

Ian

Ian can you do me a favour, seems when I messaged you and set up this account the one I tried to set up befor now works, first time visiting on my phone and its signed me into the "photobill" account not this one... Can it be easily deleted??

Also my warmbac arrived today and managed to cock up the sizes... Drastically, I've some over suit water proofs I don't care much for if thay will surfice?

Erm.

Ok, so, first off, I am not a tech wizard and I don't know how to  delete an account - could you just simply use the one that you want and ignore the other?

Warmnbac - no real issue here. Waterproofs won't work - because, water gets up your legs, up your arms and down your neck. You may think you can avoid this but you cannot - there are two points where you have to duck in a stream and although you can avoid water going down your neck, you can't stop it going up your legs and into your knackers, nor can  you stop it going up your arms ...

Any clothing you aren't bothered about getting covered in shite (well, it's actually glacial sediment) and getting soaked will do. Try to bring warm clothing (particular over your chest) and a change for afterwards.
