I am smothered in a cold  :(

Post by: Robin Jones on Mar 17, 2016, 08:42 AM
I reckon we should leave as early as possible given the distance but late enough for everyone who wants to come to be able to make it.

What's the earliest you can do Boydy?  I should be wrapped up for 4.30-5ish. Ant? Doug?

Ian: Man the f**k up and come out. I'll help you work up a sweat to get rid of that cold, and when I'm done, we can go caving  :kiss:

I won't be caving as still not recovered but will get to the pub (Glan) just after 10 ish.

Sounds good  :huh:

Last time I got a "cold" I was down for 2 weeks  :sick:  and I am hoping this will pass quickly. Working up a "sweat" probably won't help that process  :(

I did watch your video though and was intending imposing myself on you in a far less deviant manner - that too will need to wait  :S

Anyone taking SRT to have a look down that shaft in the big chamber?
Title: UCET Thurs Night Trips - 17/03/16 - OHA & Mochdre Mine
Post by: Robin Jones on Mar 17, 2016, 03:49 PM
Can't even remember a shaft in there (apart from the blocked one going up) oh and I found another one last time I was there.  A load of shit fell down from the roof just as I was walking in.  There is the hole in the wall of the big chamber that is still unexplored...

You're probably right though Tony, I've slept since last time  :lol:   See you in the Glan later  :kiss:
