there are many cave rescues many times per year, people have to be sensible and think alittle more…. if its raining hard or been raining for some days ..then KEEP OUT.
some of the caves ive been in have very low roof space so i only enter these if very good weather , there have been occasions where it has got very trickey so i know only too well caves can be dangerous…

ive been down loads of caves…..around the area….soemtimes the caves are bone dry and some just have a trickle of water so your just getting wet up to your ankles, but if its rained for a few days or raining continous then you are waist deep in water….. you have to b so careful cos some caves you can be in there for 2 hours or more…treacking your way through, then you have to come back out of the cave the way you came sometimes , and other times you can find another way out.. so if you have been in the cave for a good hour you have to keep an eye on the water rising and if is constantly rising …get yerselves out of there quickly.. limestone is very pouress..duno if i spelt that correctly. caves flood very quickly and up to roof height …. they even shut Ingleton show cave when its constant bad weather …they have a flood line which most of us have seen… now this is a showcave where it is very well lit…… when you enter a cave or pothole you require helmets and lights cos inside these caves its pitch black once you are in …… ive been in caves where normally there is a small waterfall and at times like this in bad rain the small waterfall is ahuge gushing torrent of water running extremely fast…the water is so powerfull….

electric shock shud work….kids today dont have the word NO implanted in their vocabulary :wink: :mrgreen: too many kids have got what they wanted over the years by boning the parents and the parents just gave into it to shut them up .. and bought them whatever they wanted….(SO NO RESPECT), and they gets away with it..in my day ‘NO’ was a ‘No’ (never did us any harm…we frowned at the time but learnt to buy our own things with our saved up’paper round money’ (lol) well there were 5 kids in my family , and we were all satisfied with whatever we got such as at xmas time and birthdays…not all this ‘toys’, ‘money’, sports gear and who,s got the best trainers of the month in between malarkey… :wink:
whats needed in schools also is a sergent majour type of person.
we had one in our secondary school years ago…. ‘Doc Barker’ was his name…if you were sent to his office (you were terrified…. i remember seeing kids in the line-up quivering and waiting in-line to be seen…that cane sounded ruddy awfull….there must have been many ‘red behinds’ back then…. its the only way disruptive kids learnt.. :wink:
fortunatley i was never in that office line-up… :wink: phew…

lol i wouldnt have thought you could put 160 travel fork on a 14 inch frame….oh wot do i know…i just ruddy ride the bike (lol) and hope it works..
right will get onto Loco i thinks and get a service done and spacers taken out (see wot he thinks )….. :wink:

lol well over 40 now you see so my brain doesnt work much more these days (lol)

anyway so i,ll just run this one by you then …ORANGE BIKES ( i think they thought of everything…..i have a 14 inch framed orange five which has 140mm travel forks.. :wink:

ps :fully butted, smooth welded M4 alloy frame

yep just looked at the spec for the myka 2011 bike and it says : for 13/15 inch frame the forks are 80mm travel and for 16/17 inch frame the forks are 100mm travel. so i guess in answer to my question its a big fat No then….grrrrrr… as my frame is just 13 inch…

ooops lol yeah i 4 got to mention….yep its SPECIALIZED MYKA ELITE frame and a womens at that ! and its 13 INCH frame….now you lot got me shouting now lol….. :wink:

like i said its a 13 inch frame specialized (womens) (is no-one reading wot i already wrote (lol)

neva mind the bearded guy mite be along in a bit…. mr Ed…lol or maybe if im lucky ‘Brant’ mite pop in for advisory (pretty please Brant…… :wink:

duno wot it came with now lol..i bought beefier forks for the bike a few weeks after purchasing the bike…. had the bike a good 2 years now and im only a lite weight and midget size lol so im not heavy…
anyone else on advisory please…just wondeering if i could push to 120mm travel ?……
experts advice please… :wink: :mrgreen:

i used to wear mine every time (661,s) then summer came and ive left the knee pads at home (must think i wont have accidents in summer (lol)…anyway… i got some RaceFace dig knee pads now..they are better fit than the 661,s which kept slipping down…
winter will soon be round the next corner… :wink:

yeah the peat up there can be boggy in many places…a case of smelly blackfoot soemtimes…tis great tho calderdale…theres no better place for riding..lol :wink: :mrgreen:

yeah i thort it was a five hahahaha we wud be like twins then ! fives are ace … just had a look on google maps and it showed a path leading from whitehole res to Blackstone edge, so yeah that wud be ok too…i go Blackstone edge way regular too. so im guessing from the whiteholme res its like a circular ride over to Blackstone edge,,,, anyway yeah i saw the few long gates in the distance at that whiteholme signpost, and i thort ‘god more gates’ (lol) there are far too many gates on out moorlands isnt there..lol

lol yeah i was up there at 4pm today not a soul insite… i came from walsden Bottomly up the cobbles pathwayway to Gaddings- over rocky pathway and headed towrds the pike area… i was too chicken to see where the whitehome pathway went to…bit lonely on me own…lol my son normally comes with me but he was busy looking at cars today…so wa on me own..

somewhere in Calderdale…i still cant post pics like you lot…lol

ok anyway….. just perusing the 02 website and it says you can return a new mobile within 14 days if not completely satisfied with it….is this the case then, cos ive had my new fone few days and i hate the ruddy keyboard its soo tiny ? it takes me all of ten mins to text…god its rediculous…

is Brant going to make an appearance on here to clear things up or ‘shed’ us some light ? :wink:

yep tried almost every shop in Howarth where i had been it was a lenghty task lol… left my home fone number witht he tourist info just incase any shops find it and take it there (the info place is right at the top of the shops….. theres no local police station but the info place did find me some sort of contact number……so still hoping….
anyway in the meantime are there any contract fones that are around 15 pounds per month
thats wot i paid for my pay and go simplicity tarrif…i got unlimited texts and 300 minuites per month..

what about all the new bikes in different sizes that were going to happen this year…. whose taking over then …if anyone ?

depends if theres a wind factor.. :wink: most of the time i do anyway..think its a natural thing for me, then my helmet doesn’t tug away at my hair… :mrgreen:

eyee , yeah depends on your weight…. i run around 30-35psi in my tyres. but then agin im just a lightstone midget…lol :wink:

hmmm, they have the same sole as MTB five tens (no idea if the freerunners will last as long with pedals….alot cheaper tho…! id say they be ok looking at the soles… no harm in trying them for that price.. :wink:

thats not a whippet..heres a whippet… :wink: :mrgreen:

can heat kill them ? what about a steam cleaner…

yikes a Trogen’ ahead !!!!…… but its 10,000 years away apparently..lol
