The worst caving trip I have ever been on

7 May 2022

The worst caving trip I've ever been on. Solid Type 2.5 fun. Shall not be returning to Old Man's Slabbed Level. It wasn't the plan, and shall never be the plan again. Well done to mum for showing that the sling game paid off and she could turn round. Clearly I need to try harder! […]

As Judith said about the Caving Crew

13 March 2022

As Judith said about the Caving Crew trip with Aaron, Matt and me: "The trip to Giant's Hole last Thursday was so worth the wait! Tim has held me off from doing Giant's, because as he said, it's a round trip with no escape routes if it proved to be too ambitious a trip. And […]

When I first met Rebs and Naomi

27 June 2021

When I first met Rebs and Naomi through caving, I didn't think we'd end up becoming particularly close friends. Naomi thought I was took everything very seriously, and anyway – they lived in Northamptonshire by the side of the river Nynne. Instead, Rebs helped set up The Caving Crew with us, many nights were spent […]

Fun Saturday at the Roaches with Lou

27 June 2021

Fun Saturday at the roaches with Louise, Antonio, Alex, Camilla, Liam on the Upper Tier a few weekends ago. Also a lovely surprise to bump into Rebecca and Alex! (Sadly missed Hattie and Aaron) I lead Jeffcoats Chimney again – a fearsome "Vdiff", only redeemed by the premature second pitch. Despite this, I heard lots […]

Mam Tor is a classic Peak District walk

27 June 2021

Mam Tor is a classic Peak District landmark. It's been familiar with me for a long time, and is perhaps "The Peak District's Most Dangerous Mountain" Why is it the most dangerous? Well of all the mountains in the Peak District, it (probably) gets the biggest number of Mountain Rescue Callouts. Why does it get […]

Matt Jasmin Nadia and friends adventuring

25 June 2021

A few weeks ago, Matt, Jasmin, Nadia, Judith and I headed to Carlswark. Dropping in via the Eyam Dale shaft, we headed to Midnight Chamber where Nadia and Jas had a look at Porth Crawl, before we returned via cockle passage and Eyam passage to the Gin Entrance. A applause worth second trip for Nadia, […]
