No SimonRL as he will be stuck in some kind of time warp / parallel universe in the Manchester area.

That looks like a very poor show of hands to me! Come on guys, sign up! This is neck-deep ochre we're talking about here!

DonStuart? Corin?

@novaturbo: where are you hiding?

Any more?? See you there :thumbsup:

O.k. It's amazing what a bit of arm twisting will do ;D

Bringing SRT kit - No problem :thumbup:

Wetsuit - No chance :thumbdown:

Now if someone's got a small inflatable dinghy, you might persuade me to go down a few neck-deep passages ;)

See you all Thursday 🙂

Sinker is making it sound more exciting than it is! The water is only chest deep. Not even very high on the chest! If you come in the 70s plateau shoes you undoubtedly have it would only be belly deep so no problem at all.

Don, that is a challenge that you really do need to rise to!!
I do though worry about the image that Margo has of you....70s platforms, medallion, white suit, Saturday Night Fever. YAY!

I think that's the image YOU have of Don, Sinker! I was just thinking 70s platforms, caving suit, helmet... very pragmatic. But maybe he's willing to don (pun intended) a white suit and a medallion especially for you!

Hey, now that's a cool idea. I think I'll dig out the 'Saturday Night Fever' flares as well. Should make draining the water from the legs much easier :lol:

Had a quick visit with Llion - he is well and sends his love to all.

Have a happy Xmas, raise a glass to him on the day.
