Speleobling!

Its happened! Its here, and SPELEOLABS told you first. Speleobling is in da area. Caving metal work has now gone urban. All over Exeter hip youth have been seen spotted sporting rigging equipment, krabs and various other shiny bits of speleo accessories. This includes clown hangers on the fingers and stops round the neck. The cordless hilti drill is the ultimate in accesorising, preferably along with a maypole under the arm. A 13 year old from Mount Pleasant was arrested yesterday while placing a spit in the site of Spar. The owner was heard to be annoyed as he felt his shop had been "over bolted by the little terrors". You wait till they find P hangers! Sales of Loose Change live at Priddy Village Hall have shot throught the roof and caving slogans have been graffitied all over the place ("permits suck" was sprayed on the catheral). Caving is most definitely the new underground happening. Speleolabs has employed an undercover photographer to access the scene and will bring you a full pictorial report early next week. Keep it Real!

Dan-yr-Ogof

We've just learned that the BBC is running a competition to find out 'Britain's Finest Treasure' and are running an online poll - and Dan-yr-Ogof is on the list, see here. We think that this is a good chance to promote the sport and portray caving through the media in a positive light for a change - go on, if you know it, vote. Thanks to Southampton Uni CC for the tip.

Celebrity Endorsement

A Mr Les Williams has written in to say that we are 'clearly as mad as a box of frogs'. Thank you sir. Although you have to admit that competition vis a vis humourous speleological websites is a bit thin on the ground. Nice to have a niche.

Life Imitates Art.
