i'll be there , just not sure what time yet

[Tim Watts]

mike - i'll send you an email - pretty sure i wont be there either. :-/

[Ian Collins]

Yep I'll b going and Dave . Wood like
To c SRT and how it works in a mine :-)

[Ian A]

It's a cave Ian (not a mine).  You will get caked in shite, you will get wet, you have some crawling (got any knee proctectors?), some scrambling and some electron ladder work - even a knotted rope assisted freeclimb if you get that far in. Just a fraction further you will have a canal of water up to your neck.

The cave requires great dedication to the sport of caving ... or is it stupidity ?   :blink:

[Tom Howard]

Count me in.. please Now the weather is a tad calmer, the river shouldn't be quite as wild as last time

TLH

[Ian A]

You are "counted in" as one of the mad men Tom

[Tom Howard]

Tidy See you all tomorrow.

[John Nicholson]

I will come - may be bringing Vikki Socks ( who says this is the best cave ever! ).

I don't mind if I only do the ladder descent and the crawl to the first sections, and then go back.  I need to get used to this big brother of Poachers.  I am told there is a lot of pretties to see.

Bella is absolutely spitting bricks that she can't come, but may be if the sumps are set up she could join another trip over the weekend.

Who told you that John ?

Is there some other definition of "shit hole" that I am unaware of ?

[John Nicholson]

I am sure you are not suggesting that we should NOT go in to OHA.  I look forward to the trip tomorrow and will then be able to make up my own mind.

[Ian A]

Nope ... I was suggesting there might not be quite as many pretties as you may have been led to believe

Enjoy the trip B)

If you want to experience a cave system that changes features every couple of hundred yards, OHA is your baby

[Les Williams]

You not going then Ian? :evil:

Mick told me it was like a clean washed Yorkshire Pothole...

[John Nicholson]

Ian is a really nice clean guy - he does not like getting dirty.

But that does not stop him from getting other people very dirty - I had a frightful job cleaning both the inside and the outside of Bella's Beaver after the last Poacher's trip.
