Trips & Reports 2022

Foreword: It’s worth noting that a large chunk of this report has been written in December 2022, quite a while after the events of this report. Therefore the exact order of events, or the people involved maybe a little muddled around, and gaps filled with narrative that seems to make sense. Hopefully it still gives a good feel of this tremendous adventure "Thirty five hours? Was it intentional?" Exclaims Mat, my supervisor. This is the most common reply when people hear my answer... read more

Look this was a very long trip and we went to a lot of places at the bottom of titan. And i have given myself the flu (who would have thought doing titan while unwell was a bad idea) so i'm just going to write about the important stuff!

Fortunately, one of those was Ade with his car so we could do an exchange. The plan involved Chris, Josh and Ade leading Becca, May and Jonathan down twilight down the lower streamway and then back up centre, and myself and Rosie leading... read more

The virus! Its spreading! I don’t know what I can do to stop it. I’m writing this account in hopes that it will be of use to other survivors…if there are any. The original plan for the weekend was a big NPC weekend away (considering my last report there is a trend here) But that all changed when the infection came, One pretty great graduation party led to a pretty not great Omicron outbreak in the club. Survivors where limited.... read more
