@JonnyC: Bit of top-roping at St Werburghs to dust off the old climbing skills and to get Rich signed up as a member. 4-5b, and some bouldering. Arms hurt!

Exploration to survey of lionels, time ran out to attempt the round trip @JonnyC: An exploration of Lionel's hole, relating different parts of the system to the survey, what a maze! Think we figured most of it out, but pulled back before completing a round trip as time was pressing, a definite for a revisit.

Explore of Reads by Mendip Underground descriptions @JonnyC: An exploratory trip around Read's, trying to relate the ground inside to a surface copy of Mendip Underground. Truth be told whilst we did a reasonable amount of passage we are not terribly clear on where exactly we went. A surprisingly nice little cave, it was almost completely dry for our visit an thus I would like to come back and see it in flow. Loads of interesting rock formations, plenty of boulder choke. More details to follow ...

@JonnyC: Nice little Sunday afternoon cycle out from Saltford up to Victoria Bridge Road. First outing of the baby seat, the helmet didn't go down well, and whilst Aaron didn't love the seat he got used to it enough to warrant doing it again. Stopped for a pint on the way out in the Dolphin Inn who served a superb pint of Doombar. 8.4mi

Exploration of the oxbows, and accessed via the tree. @JonnyC: Play around in the Oxbows in Swildon's upper series. Dropped in through the tree which was very exciting, looked pretty exposed at first but having watched Rich descend it wasn't as bad as I thought. Upper Oxbow, Butcombe Chamber (saw some pretties), Oxbow Junction, quick detour to see the bottom of Upper and the drop into the streamway, then down into Lower Oxbow, followed by Lowbow, upper first then lower before returning to the wa ...

@JonnyC: Micro nav practice around the feature rich terrain up toward Hen Dy-aderyn trig point via Waun Watcyn. First aid exercise. Drop down to CP by edge and then footpath. Passed WGL!

@JonnyC: From Ffynnon Tal-y-pyst car park (west of Llangatock), heading SW to trig, SE toward Llangynidir Reservoir, Pwll Coch shake hole, flooded swallow hole before descending into Llangatwg Quarries and navigating north accross the road to Coetgae Du woodland to wild camp. Rich, Chris and I tabbed to the CP to retrieve the vehicles back to this point.

@JonnyC: Out from the Priory car park, north over Loxidge Tump, South East along Offa's Dyke path to Grouse Butts turning North West through the woods back into the Priory.

Route finding practice in the upper series @RichM: A route finding trip for JC & DG visiting the Zig Zags, New Gottoes, Top of the Old 40 and checking out all the ways to access the Oxbows - left the exploration of the Oxbows for another trip

Familiarity trip in sidcot. @JonnyC: An opportunity to have an explore around sidcot to try and nail our familiarity with it once and for all. Unfortunately I had not accounted for how much the man flu was having an impact on me, and ended up having a 'little lie down' half way through most of the crawls. I decided it best not to descend the lobster pot for fear of struggling with upper body strength on the way out, but the temptation was too great for DG and he decided to slot into the top. A ...
