This is one of the Emmas from the novice caving trip to South Wales (not the one that fell down the crevasse). Matt and I were hoping to come along to the Bristol meet on 18th/19th Sept and were wondering if it's possible? Would there be any chance of us borrowing helmets and lamps?
I'm not sure if the other Emma is coming yet but I'm hoping she will.

See you guys soon hopefully! :)]]> Emma Caving Sat, 04 Sep 2010 21:41:32 +0100 http://www.jotech.co.uk/forum/read.php?4,328,328#msg-328 :( IMPORTANT- Eldon Quarry- no access (no replies) http://www.jotech.co.uk/forum/read.php?4,328,328#msg-328 Chris]]> Chris H Caving Tue, 31 Aug 2010 09:55:39 +0100 http://www.jotech.co.uk/forum/read.php?4,327,327#msg-327 :)-DNew peaks Guide!!! pre order form (no replies) http://www.jotech.co.uk/forum/read.php?4,327,327#msg-327 There is a pre order form to get free postage.

Vaynol Arms, Nant Peris, Gwynedd, LL55 4UF
Drive through the Llamberis Pass and carry on until you enter Nant Peris (don't blink) the pub is on the left and the campsite is the field opposite. Entrance is at the far end of the field. We are booked under cave and crag with the farmer.
A good chance to get in a long training route for Italy.
We can escape to the hut if the weather comes down.

Sat 3rd July we are climbing at Wildcat - Disco Dave's meet - see you on the crag at around 10.00 AM.
Again some longer routes to warm up for the Dollies.
Matlock Bath : Directions: OS 119 GR SK 297 575
Just south of Matlock Bath. Park in one of the car parks at Matlock Bath, and from the Pavilion a footpath runs down along the river to a bridge in about 300 yards. Cross this and head left or right to the crags.

Tuesday 6th July - Lichfield Library - Talk by Nick Bullock - climber and writer.
See you there at 6.45.
Library 01543 510700 for more info.
Starts at 7pm.

For those thinking of coming into Club night after the committee meeting, the meeting will be held at the Bull, instead of the Lamp Tavern. This is because it is more popular with those who regularly climb on a Wednesday night.

Directions to get to The Bull:

The address is: 1, Price Street, Birmingham, B4 6JU

CAR: If arriving by car on the A38 (the Aston Expressway), leave the fly-over section and descend to approach the Lancaster Circus traffic island (with its Fire Station doors visible on the eastern perimeter). leave the Island on the A34, dual-carriage-way; New Town Row, sign-posted to Walsall and West Bromwich. In about 200 yards (1/8th mile), after Vesey Street, take second left into Price Street and proceed (in this one-way street) up towards its junction with Loveday Street. Pay-and-Display parking tickets are only required between 0800 and 1800; except on Sundays.

See you there.

Best wishes

I have booked in at the campsite for ten tents: please let me know asap if you are hoping to come, as the campsites get very busy in the summer.

We will meet on Friday 19th June either at the campsite or in the nearby pub. On Saturday 20th we will try to leave the camp at 6.45am so that slower climbers are not caught out without food at the pub! Climbs can be at Stanage (3 routes), Burbage North, Burbage South, Higgar Tor, Millstone Edge, Lawrencefield, Yarncliffe, Froggatt and Curbar.

Try to make your own pairs; ask me if you wish to take the challenge, but can't find anyone to climb with!

And we also managed to slip in some time on the beach. This years Panti-Fest had a couple of things different. A guess the baby competition was run by Jean Smith and a Cave and Crag photo competition was run by Claire Dignon. Val made up a tent of tranquillity and there were face painting for the kids.

Pantifest Party Essentials

Try to be as self sefficient as possible as the Hut's resources will be stretched to the max.

Update- FRIDAY 30th April - Please bring water with you as the tanks are low.

What to bring:
Camping equipment - tent and stove (as you probably won't get a bed in the house).
Remember the kitchen will be very busy so a brew stove may save you some time.
Food for the table on Saturday night to go with the curry we are making would be very welcome. Whatever you want to bring. Salad / french bread / pasta / puddings / sweets etc
Food for the rest of your stay as the rest of the weekend is self catering.
Drinking water.
Chairs to sit down to eat.
Hippy costume for that real festival atmosphere (if you want to dress up - but watch out for the 'pigs' man)
Please bring any flags or decorations - anything gratefully received.
Jam jars for putting candles in if you have some spare.

Thanks and see you soon.

SERIOUS DAMAGE IN GIANTS HOLE

Daryl Godfrey reported on 6th. April that there had been serious and deliberate vandalism in Giants Hole - the affected area is the terminal chamber of Wet Inlets. This is an area which is not particularly easy to access since it involves a climb and squeezes and so is probably beyond the scope of ‘punters’ with a head torch.
The vandals have apparently used a rock to break off metre-long sections of stal, which have smashed on hitting the floor. Other formations from the same chamber have been snapped off and removed, leaving a scene of destruction in what was once a hidden gem. Daryl comments that the chamber floor “… is a scene of calcite genocide …”. Giants Hole is an SSSI, and so protected by law, and is also one of the caves being monitored by cavers on behalf of Natural England. Some of the stal. in Giants has been dated and is being specifically monitored and NE are anxious to establish whether the damage affects any of these crucial areas.
We are appealing to all cavers to help us catch the culprits so we need to know, if possible, on what date the damage was done. Dave Webb, DCA Conservation Officer, will be collating information so please contact Dave direct (or Daryl) if you have any information.
If you have visited that area of Giants recently and have seen the affected area undamaged, please could you contact Dave and/or Daryl to give them the date. Equally, if you have seen the area after it was damaged, please also give us the date. That will help us narrow it down. We also need photographs taken of the intact chamber to establish exactly what has been broken or removed.

The Gower Peninsula in South Wales has lovely beaches, superb cliff-walks, rough inland moorland, pubs, lots for all the family….

…. And masses of excellent climbing: it certainly has the greatest number of lower-grade routes of any of the coastal areas. There’s loads from Mod and Diff upwards, so it’s the ideal place to improve your leading skills, or to experience the delights of seacliff climbing for the first time…

…. Plus The Force will be with us …. the moon will be full, which means low low tides in the middle of the day, and the best conditions to climb from the beach.

But the area is very popular with other holidaymakers: the best campsite which can fit us all in is Oxwich Camping Park, 01792 390777, Mob 07999 567143. The site is very friendly, and has normal facilities plus a laundry and also an outdoor pool for our warm-blooded members! It is a short walk from a huge beach. £8 pppn for an ordinary tent. Campervans are OK, caravans not.

The site recommends that we book in the next 3 - 4 weeks, so think about it, and get your name to me by April 21st. Unfortunately, it might be that they fill up completely before the end of May: one other local site is already almost fully-booked.

Andy and Penny Hemsted will be there from Friday 28th – Monday 31st.
