S'funny that's the only brand I drink at home (& work) I endure inferior offerings at other peoples houses.
That bunch over on LR Net went wild over Yorkshire Tea as well a while ago.
I take it Andy ('Wolfie') said I'd been up on the Tuesday, but at a busy time?
I think that's him (in the purple fleece & shorts) by the booking in tent in the first photo
Eeyore:
Aye, thats our fella.
Yon Wolfie told me you came up on Tuesday when I got back from buying fresh meat (and more Teabags of the geographically correct genus).
I only found out about Saterday earlier in the thread.
T'was an excellent do (more so than usual) - the only downside is that its 50 odd weeks to the next one.
Roll on August!
cheers

Bush Tucker Man:

But the return journey gave me an opportunity to take some photos for the 'WebShots'
I even saw the pink Ka that I mentioned in the 'Spots Before The Eyes' after a special detour in Bingley.
It's very bright!!!

And here's where the photos of my Return Journey on Tuesday can be found (starting from 'The New Inn' image)
I've got a few from Saturday, but (being a sad git!!) I'm saving the best item to start the 13th 'Yorkshire Scenes' album with.
Well, I like to use a striking image (that's in my opinion) to open each album with :D (for example; 'Yorkshire Scenes. 5')
The one in question is a fairly unique structure (one of only three in the entire country) & totally anonymous unless you know about it. :wink:
But is certainly very unusual in its construction
Wolfie:
BTM, glad that you did get down the hole, and enjoyed the experience. As Nic says, come again next year and we'll try to sort out an extended tour - let us know in advance and we'll be able to make sure we are around. We have enough spare gear between us for you to borrow.
Sorry about the lack of an offer of tea on the tuesday, I'm not too good on the social graces! Plus tea is an odd concept to me, I don't drink the stuff as a rule, GG being an exception - I think I had a couple of mugs of tea this year.
As to the idea of an early morning wake up on the Saturday, it might not have got too good a reaction from me due to a stressful Friday and the fact that the Grand Union Stout was just TOO GOOD.
Photography in the main chamber isn't easy, I had a bit of a go earlier in the meet. The water levels were much lower then so the waterfalls wern't as impressive as they would have been on the saturday. I had hoped to get down again, to try some other ideas but there were too many club members heading into the system to have been able to have time before the lights were turned on for visitors. Still it will be there next year and the lens I want for taking pictures in a very impressive part of the system is finally available.
Luckily we didn't get the same amount of rain as we did in 2002, when it did get a bit wet , the steps down are there somewhere. Needless to say, we had to stop winching for a while, and took a few people out of the back door - Bar Pot, next to the stile.
Oddly, the subject of cave diving was discussed at the meet, with JNC, one of our members who does a lot, explaining to Dick, an open water diver, that he doesn't open water dive because it's too dangerous. I won't be trying it, I wouldn't like to have one of my frequent panic moments underwater.
Regards
Andy
