Otter Hole Trip - by Mark Burkey 
Claire, Duncan,
Mark H, Jess and I arrived at the car park at the unholy hour of
08.15 to be met by our guide for the day Paul Taylor. Our first
stop after suiting up was to take a look from the view point down
at river Wye winding its way down the valley. Paul pointed out where
the cave was to us and we then headed down through the dense undergrowth. |

Colombia Prospects from Paul Meredith Blanca is keen to organise an SWCC Expedition in 2014 to the Gachantiva area of Colombia. She has already done a solo reccy trip to this area and has confirmed that there are significant open and unexplored caves. The climate seems kind, no sweaty jungles, with easy access to the caves and the area is reportedly safe. A budget cost would be £2k (return air fare £800) for 2 or 3 weeks. If anybody is interested in this potentially exciting opportunity then please contact Blanca or come up to the club on the Sept 14th / 15th to see her slides and talk things over with her. We've tried Wales, Spain and Belize so why not Colombia? |

Late Summer Party - multiple birthdays - Sat 14th September Elaine Hall*, Sue Goodhead*, John Lister and Allan Richardson are 60 this year. Dave Dobson and Tim Lewingdon are 50 this year, and they would jointly like to invite you to an SWCC mega-party! The plot so
far is: Allan would like to have an idea of numbers so please email him if you are thinking of coming. *of course there must be a mistake here, these ladies can't possibly be 60! |
