"yorkshire caves" a weekend trip 11th ~13th APRIL 2014

[Tom Howard]

I told you that when you last edited it:-P do you ever listen.. Ha.

I'm helping guide on Saturday, Sunday you'll be fine because you're planning Swinsto I think, you cant go wrong in there. You'll all be goosed anyway, too much Guinness and too many maps to choose from.

[Tim Watts]

hmm - i don't remember - and if its not written on the forum it didn't happen - good riddance to bad rubbish i say anyway! :-P

[Joel Colk]

Tim was very convincing last night, pretending he knew nothing about us leaving on the Saturday night  :kiss:  

I hear tales of drunken debauchery coming from Derbyshire on the Saturday night, and naturally, that must come first.

[quote="timwatts" post=22504]I expect so - are there any plans regarding transport - I can take the landy with trailer for nine people with gear if required? But that being the case i'd want to try to fill it with as many as possible to make it worth sharing the diesel. Failing that i'll jump in with someone too.

if i make the assumption that Joel and Lauren and Andy intend making travel arrangements from their own directions and Captain Mike is only coming for one day i could suggest offering a lift from this area to....

1 - tim
2 - Tom
3 - iestyn
4 - Tony
5 - Boydy
6 - Vikki

If Joel fancied getting to say stretton roundabout on the M56 (Leave car in Stretton Fox Pub carpark) I could pick you up on route too. Lauren - don;t even know where she lives but happy to pick up on route too if required.

potentially would make:

7) Joel
8 ) Lauren
9) Purdie

which would fill the landy quite nicely.[/quote]

Looks like I have been forgotten

[Joel Colk]

That would be Tim, he's very forgetful

Johno if you look at list on top of page 1 you have
Been added

What's happening with transport???
I'm off Friday and if numbers are low going from this end
I don't mind driving!!

[Tim Watts]

6 in the landy is an ok number - and will fit gear inside rather than on roof.

Comparable fuel costs to 2 cars i imagine.

Whos working on friday - regarding what time we can leave - either way round.

[Iestyn Rhys Pritchard]

couple of questions..

do I need a wetsuit?
are yorkshire caves clean enough for me to get away with wearing a navaho without it getting destroyed
and, what time are we leaving?!

[Andrew Farrow]

@llestyn :

q1 - only if you want to be the gimp - I assume you have a caving furysut and oversuit
q2 - no - some muddy - some tight bits - I have a spare sit harness if needed
q3 - ask timbo

[John Oh]

I have spoken to Mike, I am going to travel up with him on Saturday morning, but I intend to stay Saturday night so can someone please give me a lift back to Mikes place on Sunday.

"some tight bits"

Not to tight I hope I may get stuck  :ohmy:  

Thanks

JohnO

[Iestyn Rhys Pritchard]

Thanks Andy. I've got a caving suit and furry. I've also got a sit harness, just fancied a bit of comfort!!


I tend to get stuck everywhere too lol

[Joel Colk]

It's a long shot... but has anyone a spare one of these? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Manfrotto-785PL-Plate-Modo-Tripod/dp/B000L484VW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397164178&sr=8-1&keywords=manfrotto+plates

I left it up a radio telescope last night and i'm not going back to get it.   :huh:

[Tim Watts]

joel - i've got one you can borrow but i'll need it back

[Tim Watts]

right - latest plan as devised by Tony, Vicki and Me tonight in the pub....

Basically, Tony will pick Boydy up and get to my house for 2pm. (Tony - please will you speak to boydy and arrange/agree this).

Iestyn - please can you also get to my house for 2pm.

Leave Tony and Iestyns cars here...we'll then travel all together in the landy (picking Vicki up on route).

We'll be stopping at Asda at Queensferry to get beers and food supplies for the weekend.

JohnO - there is space in the Landy for you to return with us (to mikes house) on Sunday. Indeed, there is space in the landy of friday afternoon if you change your mind and want to stay two nights? if so just let me know in advance so we can wait in case you're late arriving - and yes, there is space for another car here.

ETA at the farm (by the time we've stopped on route and fucked about) probably about 5pm ish.
