Derbyshire

Chris

Alex, Chris, Josh, Henry, Oli & Steve. Stayed at the TSG (31/07 – 03/08).

Bit of a last minute trip as we needed to collect some dodgy Oldham lamps from Selby that we had bought off ebay. Thanks to the army losing some beds Chris was able to come caving, and this was also Steve’s first trip with ACC. Fortunately for us, Steve was able to show us round some of the caves and between us ended up doing Peak, Eldon and Great Masson Mine. While Alex’s fear of heights still needs working on, we did have the chance to brush up on our juggling skills (or rather throwing on floor skills), and learnt not to trust Josh with a camera when changing on the roadside.  A censored selection of photos, mostly from the mine, can be found here.

    Please, please, please can you delete the photo of Chris’s arse. Not a good look……..

  • You think those are bad…Josh took a few worse ones! I’ve changed the thumbnail on the photos page now to something less revealing…

  • Oli oli

    it was peek not giants.

    loving most of the photos. chris at lest had the grace/sense to be slightly embarased by those ones.

  • you’re right..i always mix those 2 up for some reason. did you end up fishing that sheep out of eldon on monday?

  • Oli oli

    yep. it was the highlight of chris’ weekend. turns out dead sheep are really hevy. he hauled with the end of the rope and i unhooked it and gave it some extra heaving.
    went in the hole, which opened into a well impresive chamber, then got bored n went home. i rigged, and we’re both still alive.
