The table above shows combinations already taken. For other CUCC colour combinations already in use see <a href="https://camcaving.uk/Gear/Tape/">CUCC current colours</a> and, if you are really keen on being unique, also check out <a href="https://camcaving.uk/Documents/Legacy/Gear%20Tape%20Colours%20-%20Cambridge%20University%20Caving%20Club.htm">older cavers' gear colours</a>. <p> Tape <em>everything</em>, not just your caving gear; while one karabiner looks much like another, it's equally true that one karrimat looks much like another. And especially your phone, phone cable, charger, charger-cable, laptop, mouse, mug/plate/cutlery - essentially anything you want to be reasonably sure to get back.</p> <hr /> </ul></body> </html>
