Ran a wet 'n' wild trip down Swildon's hole on the Saturday; followedby a game of Sofa Ruby Vs. the Cardiff caving club - we lost, the sofa[or, more accurately, its splintered remains] got burnt. Had a more sedate, but still epic trip on the Sunday - wandering 5kmaround a disused Limestone mine, and playing with the old cranes +winches. The roof was held up by decidedly dodgy + rotting woodenprops; had to spend a good deal of the time clambering overpreviously-collapsed sections!
Jan's report on Hidden Earth 2004.

Weekend in the Vercors, had to go canyoning to escape from the 34° heat.
Vie Ferrate are the biz! We had an excellent weekend in the Dolomiti, managed to pack everything in:
One of the best Yorkshire weekends ever. Pull-throughs, pirates and canyons.
Pippikin to Wretched Rabbit Attempt at the ultimate Pip-Top trip, bailed at WR. Not everyone enjoyed the trip as much as they should have......
Knocked Meregill off over the weekend. Quite tiring, though a worthwhile trip.
Keeping up a tradition of sampling caving worldwide, a team of crack(pot) IC 3 cavers ventured into the beer-laden lands of Belgium. This is their story ...
