6962m....22841ft - Aconcagua in Argentina

Bit blustery up there

As for the lowest...probably sea-level, as I don't like going down (I'm a selfish lover)

Forgot you were a climber as well, Mutzo Nutzo - good one. I was meant to be heading down that way when I originally left and still have never made it.

Yeah a real beast of a mountain....made 100 times worse by the pacific generated storms, that roll-in with no real warning.

Glad I did it...but would never go back
 
it was a mining museum so probably not that far, my mate used to go down the one just down the road from me, and it was in the guiness book of records as the deepest shaft in the uk.(1400m) 2 of the deepest shafts in europe apparently.

and i reckon the esk or atrottel will have the height title.

The biggest shaft-in the UK is Everton selling Lt Worf to Citeh for 24m..

So what do you guys do for entertainment?
I would imagine anything that sends out signals would be a big no no ?

Well, when not drilling or doing maintenance, watch movies on the mess decks or lounge. We had about 8 PC's on a mini-lan set up in the crews study and we played lots of multi-players games on them. But I had the ultimate in rack set-ups (rack is the term for bunk). I had an outboard (it is oriented parallel to the beam, all the way outboard, about 2 feet from the hull) rack that had cable runs. So with creative use of cardboard and duct tape I created shelves. On these shelves I had my xbox and ps2. They fed into my 15" lcd flat panel monitor that I had modified so it sat in place and didn't move, regardless of the angles we took. Mine was the most sophisticated set up as it was permanent. The other guys in my bunk room had their own setups, but didn't match mine. xbox was the console of choice and we set up our own lan, so we would spend hours of off-watch time playing Halo multi-player.

I also spent a good few hours on Morrowind there. I would level up my sneak skills by going into a room with someone sleeping, and rig my controller so it would sneak into a corner and continue sneaking while I was on watch. 6 hours at a time. Hoo-yah!

I also read a LOT of books when I was underway. A lot.

Good morning Dylan.

Hello :) Those were they days eh ;) Now I teach the nub submariners coming from bootcamp. I mould them in my image :lol:

The modern navy, pc's and playstations. We had books, banter and killer games of uckers with the odd film, pre video, a few times a week. Watches still the same, 6 on 6 off and little sleep. Happy days. Bits of one of my old boats are now in the RN Submarine Museum and another old boat is awaiting restoration at the Swiss Transport Museum, now that does make me feel old.
