Re: Daily Quiz anyone?
10 minutes from Wakehurst Place here as well Zeb, but I've rarely been! We also used to have gardens called Heaslands not far away but some multi millionaire I assume lives there now. Remember in my delivery driver days I dropped something off there. Spectacular long drive through his gardens and when I got to the front door he had a personal petrol pump along with numerous classic cars on the drive. How the other half lives!!

Re: Daily Quiz anyone?
Never been caving Zeb but I do remember going to Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole as a kid although the head on car crash dad had with some silly bint on the wrong side of the road is probably why it's still so clear in my mind a good 50 odd years later! But it would have got me a point or two on the Stalagmite question!
Re: Daily Quiz anyone?
17 today thanks zico.
I used to go caving and was an eye opener. The best caves were the ones that were tight at the top (we called it full contact caving) and the deeper you got they opened up as you hit the really old cave systems and some of them are huge. We used to turn out the lights and have a sing along.
