I'm up for a hammocking weekend as well, and I see DD Hammocks currently have a 5 day Christmas sale on with 20% off hammocks and tarps etc.  Linky here - http://www.ddhammocks.com/products

Also wouldn't mind trying caving, although I do fear I could end up like a very large stopper in a bottle neck

It's okay, I know exactly what to do in that health & safety situation having read plenty of Winnie the Pooh.

[suspectmonkey]

Well my plan in that situation would be prevention rather than cure i.e. send someone through first who is slightly bigger than me and see if they make it

[RedLeader]

Just don't try that on the way out

Cheers been sticking my money in a jar that I would be spending on them dirty fags and it's scary how quickly I have nearly saved up for something shiny and new

I don't know many of you on here...

However, I do run Try Caving weekends with some of the other guys on the rescue team...

I'm willing to organise something if folks here are up for it...?

I'm sure there would be a few that would be up for that 
Also a good way of meeting a few off the site to

id love to try that.
never done it before.
im always up for something new.
its just a matter of me getting a lift.
id throw a few quid for petrol.

[Drongo]

Ok...

Seems to be enough folk interested...

My suggestion is to go Saturday, try a few 'beginner' caves then if folks are interested we could stay over in our caving hut if it's not being used by anyone else...

How does 29/30th Jan sound...?

I can prob gather enough oversuits and helmets, folks would need to wear their own underclothes and Wellies/boots and gloves (more info later)...

Bring your own food/drink/sleeping bag etc...

Share cars, prob best to meet in a central place in Enniskillen then we can convoy the rest of the way...
£10 donation per person to the rescue team...

Max 8 people...

The dates suit me, i'm in.
