    New Goyden - Diving Video

    I jest! I'll remind you about Sargasso next time I see you. Your CNCC Geology day, if not before!

    You told me you didn't do any of that weightless floaty stuff John! ;)

    New Goyden - Diving Video

    You'll see in the video I was going ahead, but there's at least one occasion Rob catches me up just as we surface in one of the dry chambers. The sumps here are reasonably large, and you'd have no trouble passing one another.

    New Goyden - Diving Video

    I had 2, one rope bag clipped off to me, which sat rather nicely actually. The heavier bag was just oddly weighted, but no doubt I made it look more effort than it should have been 😂. If you were going further with kit, you'd want to trim/weight them to be near neutral. For what we were doing...

    New Goyden - Diving Video

    A few weeks ago, I joined Rob Middleton for my second trip in New Goyden along with Phil Walker & Chris Fox with the task to radio locate the Caravan Trail location to the surface. Rob also got the third sump re-lined too, so overall a productive trip. Took some footage going through Sumps 1, 2...

    Win a Rab Nexus Pull-On with the 1st of the Inglesport Fabulous 5 competitions!

    On reflection, trying to create a caving-themed twister game was a bad idea!

    Redhouse Lane Swallet Update

    Just watched this. The updates are fantastic, and hearing/seeing the reactions of white forest brought a big smile to my face. Can't wait to see what other treasures this cave brings!

    Bad Air on the way to Crusader in Oxlow

    Hang on, was I with you for the Giants - New Oxlow (albeit it, I didn't go through the connection). Are you Jonah or Jack?

    Derbyshire Tubes

    Fantastic info John! I'd read about them, but the extra details here are very useful. Question: If you decide to remove the line for some reason, do you just wrap it around the scaffold bar, or loop it up in the same way you had before deploying? Feels the latter might be slower, but also keeps...

    Lost Welly in Swildon's

    Rather comically, my friend was parted with his welly last weekend in Swildon's. He did tell me at the time, but thinking he said something else, I brushed it off and we continued our exit. Only once on the surface I see him limping along with 1 welly on. Hilarious to watch, but also felt kind...

    Cave Diving Rescue in China
