Subject: RE: BS: The Devils Arse and other big holes
Just remembered another amount of consternation concerned I caused, going back to Caves. I mentioned Yordas cave before and how it is easy to get in. A group of us, armed with bike lamps, candles and all manner of inappropriate lighting had a walk into it one dry day. There is a very impressive waterfall at the end of the cave and as we were viewing it, a mag ladder was dropped down and some proper cavers climbed down. The leaders of the pothole route obviously knew how we had got there but some not in the know were astounded to see a group of scruffs with bike lamps milling about with cans of Guinness and roll-ups. To crown it all someone else came in with a little Jack Russell terrier which was running around wanting to be petted by the cavers :-) I said to one bloke, who was stood there slack-jawed, "Glad you came in. We have been here a week and we are running out of Guinness. How do we get out?" At that point one of the leaders cracked up and gave the game away.

Eeeeeh. Them were the days...
