Second caving day
Three weeks ago we started a caving course. Now it was time to take next step and try rope techniques in a cave. With two participants we first practiced indoors and then took of for Lenčkova cave.
First time on rope in a cave can be very tedious.
Caving day
Once again with KŠOPP we organised a day introduction to caving or as we called it KŠOPPs Caving Day. We started with presentation followed by practicing rope technique and ended it with a visit of Predjama cave.
Cave Hudi Vršič
Considering the potential of abyss Hudi Vršič it should get more of our attention. It was about time we went in again. We took advantage of prolonged weekend for new explorations and survey. Five of us were destined for the cave while Marko Kavčič and Nina Cof brought some equipment up the hill. Unfortunately I had a bad neck ache and decided to go back to the valley. Four cavers went in: Aleš Štrukelj Klanfa, Bogomir Remškar Božo, Andrej Kristan Jokl and Matjaž Božič.
Caving exams
It was last weekend in summer and spring Poltarice in Gradiček was where caving exams took place. After morning shat and coffee candidates wrote theoretical exam while instructors manned their posts.
Non-governmental organizations fair
As usual there was a Non-governmental organizations fair on last day of Zmaj ma mlade festival. This time around we decided to do more than just sit behind the stand and so we put up a rope an a tree for visitors to try climbing techniques. Since that was time consuming we then just lift up and down small kids. The queue was faster but still full until we closed at nine pm.
Tabor na Kaninskih podih
Na Kaninskih podih se vse od postavitve bivaka (pa tudi že prej) vsako poletje odvijajo jamarski tabori. Letošnji se je začel drugega avgusta, udeležila pa sva se ga tudi dva člana DZRJ Luka Čeč.
Na Kaninskih podih je veliko nedokončanih jam prav tako se pa še vedno odkrivajo nove. Potemtakem ne preseneča, da na Kaninskih podih prirejajo svoje tabore številna društva in celo tuji jamarji. Tako so nekaj dni hkrati potekali tabor pri bivaku JZs, tabor v novomeškem spodmolu, tabor DZRJLJ pri Vrtiglavci in tabor poljskih jamarjev pri ruševinah stare koče Petra Skalarja.
Obljudenost jamarskega bivaka je bila zelo dinamična saj so jamarji venomer prihajali in odhajali. Mi smo se navkreber odpravili v torek zvečer...
Nova sezona potopov
Pivke jame in Planinske jame še nismo povezali, kar pomeni, da so raziskave še aktualne. Letos smo jih zaradi kombinacije slabih vremenski razmer in slabega zdravja začeli kasneje kot lani. Tokrat potapljača Sebastjan in Igor nista šla iskat nadaljevanja v Pivki jami pač pa izmerit rove za tretjim sifonom. Kaj več pa naslednjič.
Športni dan v Osojci
Leto je naokoli in spet je napočil čas za zadnji športni dan 5. razreda O.Š. Miroslava Vilharja. Učenci so se kolesi prepeljali iz Postojne do Osojce pri Belskem nakar smo jih peljali v jamo in jim pokazali jamarsko tehniko plezanja.
