Sailing in Anglesey

Brendan Hall - 0
In the summer while traversing the Cullin ridge with James 2, I remember looking out to the islands surrounding Skye and imagining how awesome it would be to travel between remote islands or around the coast by boat. My original idea was to use a sea kayak to travel...

A duck, a tree and a mine

Ane Appelt - 0
… walked into a bar (not really, but it does sounds like the start of a joke) I was keen to get in some more caving trips this summer, especially as I had a few weeks off from work with no travel planned. Luckily, Janey was up for the challenge...

Little Hull Pot

Ane Appelt - 1
Sunday 27th Aug 2023 Hugo, Adam Baldock, Ane I thought I should try out this whole ‘writing rants’ thing - and might as well start with the most recent trip, working my way backwards through the summer. I wanted to go caving. Baldock wanted to go caving. None of us have a...

Benjamin Chalmers - 0
Alarm sounding, rolling out of bed, a half awake blur, situation: an idyllic Italian village aside a magistic waterfall. An oppressive humidity after three days of heat, we dress and prepare, Bodengo 2 our aim. Echoed warnings of syphons, recirculation, drowning, and doom look to Brendan, our sole source...

Paul Pot Memorial Trip 2023

Shacktivities - 0
The Paul Pot memorial trip was upon us but the students weren't actually planning Lost John's - just a Notts 2 trip so that had to change. Friday night party at ours because Nadia had returneth to the UK (wooooo) and to celebrate being older, so Luke was also...

Craig A Ffynnon

Jon Haynes - 0
Monday 2 January 2023 Antony Butcher, Gavin Elsley and Jon Haynes Sometime in the late 1990s, we (infamously) turned up late for a planned trip into Craig A Ffynnon (Gavin, Mark Cake, Laura and I). We got a bit lost trying to find where to park and our allocated leader had...
