Video Killed The Caver Stereotype

tomintent

Cos we’ve worked out how to, here’s another short video, showing J & Tom solving that sleep in the car/sleep in the tent conundrum. The exit reminds me of the Dukes of Hazzard, only slower and more crap. More of this please.

On a separate note it’s J’s leaving do (forever!) and Mark H’s brief return gig in the Back of Beyond, Reading tomorrow from 7.30. Hey, another double celebration!

Tom Foord’s Guide to Modern Speleodance

tom2

As promised, a short (1Mb 30 second) instructional video starring Mr Tom Foord can be found here. It shows him demonstrating his soon-to-be-famous ‘jammer jammer jammer’ dance, falling over and then toppling out of a wheelchair. Top work. This is the first time I’ve worked with the medium of video, if it doesn’t work let me know.

On a separate note I managed to delete the entire photo archive today, hence is back up in streamlined and augmented form. Hence some new photos.

As part of our summer exchange programme RUCC will now be meeting in the College Arms, Wokingham Road on Monday nights from 9.00 onwards. A map showing location is here

Apparently the College Arms serves Fosters, Kronenbourg, John Smiths Smooth, Guinness, Guinness Extra Cold, Strongbow Cider and Marston’s Pedigree. Monday night is curry Night from 8pm – 10pm (curry, rice & garlic bread for only £3.45). There’s 60 car parking spaces, a wi-fi hotspot, a cash machine, two pool tables, a dart board, and a digital juke box. See, I’ve been doing research. Hope to see you there.

Photos of this weekend’s Yorkshire trip are now here (and on the photo page). Just to let you know that we are also currently making an instructional video, “Tom Foord’s Guide to Modern Speleodance” which we are hoping to post in the next week or so. It’s elegant and illuminating. Watch this space.
