Marcus and Colin with the booster.


The purchase of an Oxygen booster pump gave us the chance to play with a new toy and do some testing of the rebreathers before we headed for the Lot France. the aim to do a bit of underwater rambling (cave diving). The booster and rebreathers worked well.

We spend a sunny Saturday in a cave dig in south Wales. Not a bad time and a reasonable amount of spoil removed.

This has been an on going project for my self and Colin, although very weather dependent needing ten days of dry weather to give good cave diving conditions. The aim is to find new cave, and maybe the deep valley aquifer (maybe).

Just returned from a short trip to Mallorca staying neat Pollensa. One thing I did not find much about before the trip was the light railway that runs on the island. All lines run to 

Palma - Inca - Manacor

and

Palma - Inca - Sa Pobla

The tickets can be bought from a touch screen machine (with an English option) and are very cheap. The train is a new diesel powered rapid transit type running on a narrow gauge line. From San Pablo in the north it takes about 40 minutes to Palma. A far better way to get into Palma than by car with the traffic and parking hassle.

Note: This is not the tourist railway to Soller.
