hey hey, I'm an Irish Caver with the UCD caving and potholing club (http://www.ucdcaving.com)
great to see you guys have such a big community going on here :kewl:

Hi,

I have a number of caver friends in Ireland! Four of them were on the trip to India I went on last year. Plus, another guy named Paul (forgot his last name at the moment) I met years ago, and he's a diver, too. Plus I know another cave diver from Ireland, though it's been about 10 years since we crossed paths.

Welcome!

Have you also had a look at UKCaving.com? This is a UK based caving forum and may also be interesting to you.

I've caved many times in Ireland (I was born in Cork but moved at an early age and now live in the
Peak District in the UK), in County Clare. I was there for a fortnight again last June.

Hmmm... was one of them Des McNally??

Hey Paul, I have never seen that UK forum thanks, I'm actually planning a trip at the moment to the UK fir next March with our club, heading over to the old school house in Yorkshire. Looking forward to some real SRT :grin:

Probably. I don't remember his last name, but there was a Des, so it would have to be! Say HI--he's great!

Is that the YSS place or the one near "The Railway" pub in Ribblesdale?

My club stay at the YSS place all the time: in fact we'll be there this weekend.

yep, it's the YSS place. Just have to sort out flights now, I wonder what Ryanair's policy on several hundred meters of rope is.....

He played the big bother video at the Irish caving symposium the other week, it was hillarious!
