Adventures with M

JAUNTER – 26 – 27 October 2024
I think when I write up the details of this trip, I might have used the words “Jaunter, the caves you do when you’re REALLY committed”.  And that’s pretty accurate, most of the caves are small and squeezy, not my favourite place to cave but I’ve been there about four times now – shows true commitment!

BORENORE – 19-20 October 2024
With most of our “usual” caving areas closed, MSS were making a concerted effort to “break out” and familiarise ourselves with some other areas.  So, I contacted the Orange Speleos (OSS) and they agreed to show us around.  Big thanks to OSS for being so generous with their time. Continue reading →
