One piece stretch undersuit, warm and lightweight, tailored for maximum freedom. 2-way zip, diamond crotch, pocket, neoprene cuffs, double thickness at knees.

I paid £30 for it (cost £50+ new) so offers around that would be good. Need to sell it soon so if no offers it's going back on ebay.

The following is taken from the other website although it does not address either Radon gas or radiation (both of which were really outside the scope of the thread). This is a tricky subject and a dangerous one to get wrong. The most common cause of “bad air” is oxygen depletion caused by the oxygen ...

While the water erodes it, and eats it away. The cave just gets bigger, and bigger, each day. How "can" this be so, I can hear people say. How can something get "bigger" as it's eaten away. I know it seems odd, and a little unfair. But a cave, is a cave, just because it's not "there".
