Led trip into Dany, with some route finding, exploring, photography into Cloud Chamber and Flabbergasm and return, quite wet. @RichM: After an early start, we met up at the national show Caves of Wales. Having negotiated the guard of dinosaurs we entered via the trade entrance (cunningly hidden in a big door)we quickly did the tourist area and arrived at a sign danger deep water. As the sign made no mention of cold water we climbed over the railings and were soon swimming upstream in fffreezing water ...

Smooth downhill section, refreshments and tough uphill ride. @JonnyC: The challenge was in the uphill section!!

Trip into Bath to review progress made by Pre-Christmas bang, and a taster session for a digging virgin. Very cold conditions. @JonnyC: Having been re-educated on which is the bottom car park in Burrington, a very cold change into gear and switching to a far more appropriate vehicle to ascend the hill. Out of practice of ladders, my vice like safety grip tired the forearms quickly on the descent of double pitch, however once grounded swift progress was made to the dig. Having let the boys head ...

A fine trip on Eastern Mendip ably led by Jude. @JonnyC: Nice fairly easy trip into a beautifully decorated cave, massive thanks to JV for leading

Good conditions meant a very pleasant paddle heading out from Devizes in the K2 @JonnyC: Starting from the race start point we headed out along the K&A, out of practice so little shaky to start not least past the junior paddling club but soon settled into the rhythm. Avoided a couple of swing bridges that risked causing head injury and pulled up dry for the final time at Wooton Rivers lock. @RichM: Good result after anxious start, longest driest run so far - enjoy and appreciate team work to date hope today sets the stall out for a delayed but ultimate success thanks dude. @JonnyC: Date: Saturday 05 January 2013 09:54 Duration - Tot: 05:11:49, Mov: 03:59:01 Distance - Tot: 24.6km (15.3mi), Mov: 24.2km (15.1mi) Speed - Avg: 4.7km/h (2.9 mi/h), Max: 8.5km/h (5.3 mi/h), MovAvg: 6.1km/h (3.8 mi/h) Stops - Tot: 6 Name Start Duration Distance Speed Journey % ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== Leg 1 09:55:16 00:04:52 ...

A return trip - retraced last weeks steps and continued to explore new areas, finding a few interesting features including stone staircase, delta, the tank and a cache then navigated out on a different route

Short tour around central Box Mines @JonnyC: Prior prep and planning had failed, therefore a late arrival in Box. After a little drama locating the back door, we were in. Following our instructions we did a fairly good tour of the mine including some impressive chambers, looking forward to a return visit.

Very short paddle into a frozen portion of the K&A, quick exit turned into a roll
