Less than a month later, in Reigate, we were showing Edwina Currie around Barons' Cave! I think we've frightened old politicians away now. We haven't met any more since then.

Sorry - this is WAY off topic now! 😞

Is there any oversuit that has more than ONE pocket?

They all seemed to be aimed at cavers carrying a small bottle of water and a Mars bar.

Now there's a link there Dave, after using Blackshiver's antique 100m rope there's often a need to wash the smell of fear from your kit...

The Daleswear ones like what I have have quite a large inner pocket but don't know about anything better. You could try a fanny pack if you don't want to carr a proper bag. :blink:

Yep warmbacs have 2 the one on the arm for your packet of fags and lighter (infact Kermit told me its for a battery) and that big one inside the suit.

Better to regret something you have done - than to regret something you have not done.

We didn't know how long the trip would take, so we booked a portaloo. I think the person on the phone might have misunderstood what we were asking for. A month later we phoned up for a curry. Same person on the other end of the phone! :guns:

I'm inclined to cut Portaloo a bit more slack since he gave up being an MP and decided to try being a human being instead.....

Follow the horses, Johnny my laddie, follow the horses canny lad-oh!

I'm really glad the blockhouse didn't need rethatching.
