- it is crucial that everyone on a camping team shares responsibility for making the trip a success. Don't rely on somebody else to sort stuff - there is no place for freeloaders who just want the tick of camping underground. Do you know the route to get to camp? Do you know what the caving objectives are? Have you helped to sort the caving gear, food and other kit needed? Have you checked that everything you need has actually been packed into bags?

- before taking the Cavelink set underground check that it works on the surface then make sure everyone camping knows how to use it and somebody on the surface will be checking it
- list everything taken down to camp and share this list (eg put a photo of it on Signal) so the next team can see it
- idiot check the essentials before leaving - have you enough mats and sleeping bags? Is the toilet stuff packed? Are you *sure* the previous team has left at camp a survey kit / drill batteries / thru bolts or whatever?
