Judi, the reason that they'll still be allowed to still use the discharge seven years after the 2013 incident because they will have an environmental permit allowing them to. The sewage network is designed with specific storm relief points, which is what this particular discharge will be. Welsh...

We need to keep the two issues separate: specific water quality at Dry Sink and CSOs/storm discharges in general. At any cave (or in the country in general), if people think that there is a pollution, they should report it to the water companies or else the EA or Natural Resources Wales or...

Are you sure you fully understand what you're supporting? I do work with CSOs for a different water company and the private member's bill and Surfers Against Sewage campaign miss the point: the only thing that matters is water quality; this is looking at any discharge to rivers from a CSO. I...

It is definitely Derbyshire County Council, who are trying to implement the scheme. Derbyshire County Council are for the scheme and all of the local politicians - from the Parish Council to local MP - are against the scheme. Someone (the Chairman?) of High Peak Borough Council was at the public...

I should emphasise that the two really important things are; 1) Send in your objections by WEDNESDAY 2) If you have relevant experience or expertise to fight these changes, make yourself known. I'm trying to get a point of contact in Castleton Parish Council to coordinate this help.

Here are my notes from the meeting last night: - Castleton villagers are very against the proposed changes and everyone wants to see them stopped/blocked - DCC were invited along to the meeting but didn't attend (they said they hadn't received the invitation) - Verbally, DCC have said that the...

Cheers, John. That's certainly saved me a few pennies. I should be able to pick it up in a fortnight and I'll leave you something to say thank you if I don't see you in person. Curiously, if it was just inside the entrance it means that two of us went passed it and didn't see it although at...

My MTDE Gamma chest harness (bra-type) with a red crab is somewhere in Swildons. I did the Priddy Green Sink-Mud Sump-Out trip. It's likely to be by the dive weights by Swildons Four but it could have also fallen out of a tackle sack on the way out. If it fell out of a tackle sack, it's most...

I found a fancy torch in West Chamber (the big bit at the bottom) during a Maskhill-Oxlow exchange trip on Saturday 7th December, 2013. The torch is short (hand-sized) and black and looks like it's a Fenix design. If you want to claim it, you'll have to describe the distinctive item that it was...

Which cave was it?

Rosie from SUSS has reported that the knotted hand-line on Idiot's Leap has been removed (it was there on Sunday afternoon when I used it). She has also found a krab with orange & purple tape markings.

Did anyone find two Petzl Duo Helmets? One is red and probably says D1 or D2 on the battery box and the other is white.

I haven't lost 4, but if you have two blue+yellow Wild Country Titan II screwgates, they're mine.

We had three cars parked in the Wheatsheaf pub car park on Saturday morning while we went to Inglesports/Bernies. We got ?40 fines for it. There are now a signs up saying they'll do this. Consider parking somewhere else.

I presume you went to the Speleological Association of Slovenia website and used the contact addresses there? I emailed JK Zeleznicar in Ljubljana in 2007 and ended up caving with them for a summer.
