Jimny owners other hobbies

We would make a good quiz team!!!!!

Mart

We're fell runners. It's the main reason I got the Jimny, the other car was getting stuck in event car parks (Farmers fields) and really mudded up, so now we embrace the mud and have fun in the car parks instead of stress. Best decision I ever made. It's great to be able to sit in the back and change trainers etc. Next mod I need is some "puddle" lights on the rear door and an additional interior light in the back for changing at night runs.

I'm a caver, climber, walker, 4x4-driver, repair-it-myself enthusiast and pub lover.

I used to do some urban exploration like some others I've seen mention on here. I've climbed the shard (made national papers) and loads of other towers in London, climbed gas towers around the country, suspension bridges and cranes. I've been in WWII bunkers, cold war bunkers, and more modern ones. I've explored storm drains, sewers and culverts, including much of London's Victorian drain network and modern cable tunnel systems. I've abseiled into storm drains, metro systems and off buildings, built rope swings on cranes and much much more... I can't talk about it much at the moment, especially not in a public forum, but I have a trial in April as a result of my antics. I'm being tried under Conspiracy legislation. Urban Exploring isn't as harmless as many of the large public forums would have you believe. PM's welcome for more info about my past antics. (idiotmobil, Ruby2, I'm looking at you!)

Idiotmobil, where do you cave? Are you in a club? I'm in Bracknell District, done most of my caving in the mendips, been to wales (OFD) once, did the streamway through trip. I'm just starting to become experienced with SRT now too.

only wales really started a few years ago doing abit of searching on the net and os maps finding caves about and just going in, abit of a silly way of doing it but I am a bit like that, one of the best we have done is the one at Ystradfellte in Brecon becons, ive not done any high things in scared of hights lol I use to climb a few years back but had a bad one on a cliff free climing in dorset not done it since, it would be nice to hear when some caves are in the mendips as a lot closer than wales

Where are you based? www.mcra.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=more_info is a brilliant book for mendip caves. It's a thick hardback with glossy photos, full surveys and writeups of caves. If you are anywhere near bracknell (I live in Fleet, hampshire) , you should join our caving club. It's not too formal, pretty tongue in cheek and it's great to get out with some of the older cavers and out with much more experienced cavers into some amazing caves.

www.mcra.org.uk/wiki/doku.php has info for many caves in mendips. Try and get a proper survey before you visit!

www.bdcc.co.uk/ is the club I'm in. It's good to join a club as the club has tons of gear, ropes, ladders, harnesses etc for more complex trips!

im only down the m3 in Southampton ill look in to that as would be good to do some proper caving as I get worried some times as I know how bad it could go (ive watch the film decent lol) a lot of other things going on in my life at the moment
