things you can do thithout on a trip in nenthead or put simply the demise of the base of my rucksack on a rampgill trip,it dumped my flask/lamps/butties/and torches on a dry section thankfully.
luckily i had a belt on to wrap round the metal frame of the base to hold everthing in till i got out.

strangley its a famous army stores (remember them) bag from the 1950s the frame is solid iron and weighs a ton but its the comfiest bag ive ever had due to the strapping on the frame...it lasted me 20 years underground so i hope these vinal bags shaped like sausages can carry as much weight and still be comfy as im in the market for one. :thumbsup:

I used to have one of those. I received no end of complaints from friends who couldn't fit it in their car boots alongside all the nice rectagular and sausage shaped bags that real cavers use.

We inhabit an island made of coal, surrounded by a sea full of fish. How can we go wrong.......

No, I mean cavers. Mine explorers are really tolerant and friendly and never complain about anything.

I've tried. I have REALLY tried to get Mrs Patch interested in aditnow but i think I'm fighting a losing battle. She make all the right noises but when I pointed out Bograt's disintegrated antique rucksac, all she said was "see he's got the same kitchen units as us." 😮

Don't wait for a light to appear at the end of the tunnel, stride down there and light the damn thing yourself
