I am up for it

will do anything - caves / mines

I have suggested this before - but :

mendips [ caves ] - staying at WCC hut

Wiltshire mines [ staying at WCC hut ]

Yorkshire caves - book a dorm at the YSS

nenthead mines - stay at the alson bunkhouse

peak district - mines or caves - say at the TSG hut

but for fook sake - do something epic

just to state the fooking obvious - some of the accomodations will get bookings - so we need to reserve to ensure we get places

As I am Tony's PA, lol, I can see he's working then too, booooooo :(

He's off the last weekend in March if any good. If not I will speak to him and see if he can get any hols/shift swaps.

Yer i'm up for another titan trip - would be nice to not have to go back and derig it!
That said i've done it twice fairly recently and on another tread on here - is there a desire by people (i'm up for it) to do an overnighter underground somewhere - that might open up other ideas??

@ mike - we canot make plans for weather critical caves 8 weeks in advance - but a descision // commitment to a " Yorkshire caves " weekend allows us to book accommodation and start planning

exact trips and permits as required can be sorted the week before when we have weather forecasts

@ doug :

if meregil has failed to kill you on 3 occasions - maybe it needs some assistance ?
