*Photos + Vid from Gaping Gill* Absolutely cracking set of trips this weekend just gone, did a Flood / Bar exchange down into the main chamber of Gaping Gill in Yorkshire. Set off a flare, which lit up the chamber most spectacularly. NPC has just been done up as a hut, central heating and a great new wood fire, very very comfy! Photos (just a few, camera didn't like the cold): http://www.union.ic.ac.uk/rcc/caving/photo_archive/trips/2008-11-07%20-%20yo... Flare Vid (exciting at 10s when Dan steps to the fore and catches on fire), though perhaps most amusing is my distressingly geeky voice over [*ooohooho, fifteen thousand candelalala*] :) : http://www.union.ic.ac.uk/rcc/caving/photo_archive/trips/2008-11-07%20-%20yo... ---- *Usual Meet 7:30pm Tonight (6pm in Stores for cleaning for those who went at the weekend)* ---- *FREE Talk* by *Fleur Loveridge* on cave exploration "*Life on the Dark Side, *Exploring caves from Wales to China" Starts 7:30pm, near by in Pimlico.
