    CRTT - No rope of Croesor 1st Pitch

    Ah that would be fantastic! Thank you. I don't own a tandem pulley, but will try get my hands on one for that weekend.

    CRTT - No rope of Croesor 1st Pitch

    Probably not the place to ask, but it's sort of related. Would anyone be up for a trip through Croesor on the 18th of May? I'm comfortable with SRT, just don't know the mine or how to navigate through 👍🏻

    Pioneers Beneath the Peak: Cave diving exploration in the Peak District

    Got mine in the post yesterday (after the recommendation during the Derbyshire comittee meeting). Not yet had a proper read, but a quick scan through tells me it'll be a good read!

    This cave NOT is on access land.

    Every time i see this on the CNCC website, I wonder if it is meant to be "this cave IS NOT on access land"? I know it's a silly grammar thing, but it irks me.

    A random one taken of white lady cave in Wales. Pre-dive, but post multi-trip journey carting in dive equipment. Lovely phreatic tube!

    Lake District Quarry - Zip line plans

    I've seen similar things like this have been setup in Wales, and the lake district already have a via Ferrara setup at Honister. I'm curious to know what people's thoughts are about stuff like this? Is it good for the mines? I.e. keeps them open and 'safe' for visitors. Or does it cause more...

    Wezzit - Somewhere Peaky?

    I certainly lean on other peoples experience and information, so will happily feed back if I go for a nosey and find out anything worth noting.

    Wezzit - Somewhere Peaky?

    Awesome. Really appreciate the snippet. It does sound about right. Although disappointing to hear it doesn't seem much if a dive. Maybe one for when I'm reeeeaallly bored 😂

    Wezzit - Somewhere Peaky?

    So I think I've found it. Ticknall lime pits (South Derbyshire). Can't see any exact photos to match, but looks very similar. CDG seem to have something related to it, but I'm not a member to view the article. https://cavedivinggroup.org.uk/tag/ticknall-lime-pits/ This would also tie up with...

    Ha I'd already tried that and found the same results. Quite the mystery so far!

    Wezzit - Somewhere Peaky?

    A bit random, but I've seen this photo online, tagged as "Peak District" but nothing else to describe or locate. Wondering if anyone here has an inkling where this could be? P.s. it may not even be in the peaks. -

    Anyone able to show me around coniston copper mines?

    Awesome. I've had a few people reach out which is much appreciated. Unsure when I'll next be up in Cumbria, but most likely Feb-Mar time so may come knocking then. Thank you folks!
