LRO magazine

[Tim Watts]

To be honest, as much as i'd like to i've got loads at home that i should be getting done so if he can't do it one day (any day) next week, (or monday or tuesday the following week) then i'd rather give it a miss. Well i'd rather get underground, but i shouldn't!

In other words, if the LRO guy can make it then i'm happy to make that a good enough excuse to myself for another days caving, but if he's not, i better not!

[Andrew Farrow]

can people just decide whats happening Tuesday [ or any other day ]

I am out Monday and digging Friday - but otherwise - I is good to go

[Iestyn Rhys Pritchard]

I emailed the guy last night with times an dates, but they clearly don't work weekends. It probably going to be too short notice by the time they get the email on Monday, so don't hold your breath!

[Frank Hill]

Well I'm stuffed for Tuesday/Weds but if it changes I'm likely in

[Iestyn Rhys Pritchard]

Still not heard anything back from LRO, but I've emailed suggesting next Tuesday would be more convenient. I hope Frank can make it next week, also it gives me more time to sort a few bits and bobs on the 101, plus I've just bought a series 3 ambulance in Essex which I'll be going to fetch this week. Would be great to get two ambulances up there

[Andrew Farrow]

this sounds like a recipie for a " 2 ambulances - one ditch " video

[Tim Watts]

next tue is ok for me :-)

[Frank Hill]

Looks like I'll be free for next tues. At the moment anyhow!!

[Iestyn Rhys Pritchard]

Right, looks like we're all set for Tuesday.
I'm going to be meeting the photographer and some other guy from the mag at 9am so they can get shit done without the trip running late.

If I'm not down at the car park by 10am, perhaps Tim could drive the rest of you up?

Or we could postpone the trip and have a 11am meet time. It's up to you guys

Either way, I don't fancy driving the 101 up twice  :unsure:

[Frank Hill]

A possible competitor for the 101!

[Tim Watts]

Right.

So, I'll be at the car park in the link below at 10am and then make my way up the track to [strike]recover[/strike] meet the 101.

Frank, Andy & Anyone else, I'll be leaving my house at 08:00 if you want a lift.

Roughly how long is CRTT time wise? I'm just wondering how critical it's going to be that all my lights work. I'd like to avoid driving down from the mine in the dark altogether if possible  :lol:

edit- photographer wont be coming underground btw. So no need to wory about extra equipment

[Tim Watts]

You can get through in about an hour if you get a move on - but i'd suggest allowing at least six. Even longer if we had a load of newbies. I'd suggest that we make sure we've got working lights to be fair.

If they want an underground photo they can have one of mine :-)

[Andrew Farrow]

Set call out for 2 hour then spend 15 dicking about PS SHOULDN'Tyour lights all work you allegedly just had it moted

[Iestyn Rhys Pritchard]

The lights do work, they're just a bit shit. I've got a pair of square spotlights that I can stick on in place of the old fog lights
