Cue ‘All Creature Great & Small’ theme music – next club trip is SRT pothole action in the Yorkshire Dales, March 12-14th. If you want to go to God’s own country and go down some holes tell Oli NOW! P.S The hut (YSS) is luxury (relative to other huts) and is next to a pub. Cue closing credits. RUCC XXXVIII
This weekend we mostly:
-Did the sumps & ducks of Swildon’s Hole with veritable aplomb
-Got down and dirty with other clubs as part of the CHECC community
-Watched with intent as Tom played ‘the stretchy game’ with said community
Photos are available here
Also – Javan & Liz from Kent – thanks for the thanks, hope all is well. You handled the situation with much calmitude, glad we could help.
Some photos of the Wales weekend and SRT training are now available here

This weekend RUCC mostly:
– nearly won a playstation on a radio phone in
– learned how to do body traversing
– became tired and emotional to ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’
Oh, and did some caving. Pictures from the annual ‘CHECC’ University Caving Club are here
Quick reminder – this weekend is the University Caving Bash, held at Rhongyr Isaf. This is situated just off the A4067 that runs between Swansea and Sennybridge. We have a few things planned to mark us out from ‘just any other caving club’, but if you feel like it bring a hat. Sillier the better. And be prepared to dance about like frogs on hotplates.
We have now posted all the photos from last weekend (Derbyshire/Alton Towers). It’s available as a photo album (see right hand column) but temporarily here at better quality. Warning – contains evidence of pole dancing, silly caving garb and expressions of sheer terror. If anyone wants me to e-mail copies of full quality versions let me know.
