Hi All Dave Brook has agreed to buy Bernie's with the sale due to go through in March which of all things go according to plan is when we intend to open. I'll be running the place and and making the transition from rope access monkey to cafe manager. I've spent the past month slowly moving in...

In the answer that the head of the serial killing cannibal family gave during that episode of Torchwood when they ask why they did it. "Because it makes me happy!"

Latest update from the Hungarian cave rescue. Donation details on link if people don't feel comfortable with go fund me...

Loads. Over half a meter.

Found a hp30 light in my travels but it is sans battery box. Anyone happen to have something suitable for it?

Got a bit of cave swag the other day that very handily held my pantin though the trip while the rest of my harness was used to rig the remaing sections on monastary. No markings.

Excellent write up and great photos. I especially like the panorama of Boireau Falls. Keep them coming. 👍

Found a go pro whilst dredging the river Derwent. Don't know what happened to the owner. But this video was on it, already edited. Maybe UKcaving can help solve the mystery of what happened to this group of feckless morons.

Yet another video. Lessons learnt from the last attempt I set off with a new camera angle and much more commentary to document the very important role of derigging.

Whilst my writing endevors this year have been lacking by far I have turned my efforts to a more visual medium. Here's a video of the resurveying trip to Nothing to See in Balcony which when first explored in 2017 had such a poor survey some of the survey team refused to hand over the notes in...

Hi All Trying to make more videos but having issues with lighting just not getting enough out of my Nora 4 in bigger cave passage or areas with darker rock. My initial thought has been to get some compact site lights to help illuminate larger passage. Also to get some side mount lights on my...

I've got myself a Go pro as a present so here's another video of a trip down Giants as my first attempt at gaining viral fame. Feel free to give it a watch if you've got 20 minutes spare The trip was down to East Canal but the battery konked out in the upper galleries but much rubbish was...

Found 2 Karabiners with purple and orange tape still on bolts on a traverse in Notts pot a couple of weeks back. Let me know the colour and we can arrange a collection.

If I put the same amount of effort into organising as alliteration I wouldn't have this problem. ULSA are coming to Wales but we've hit a bit of a snag due to the popularity of caving. We've got 15 bunks at the SWCC booked but 30 people turning up. I've checked the other caving huts of the...

I'm looking for some cheap fleece salopettes similar to these. https://www.gillmarine.com/gb/mens/sailing-trousers/i4-salopettes.html I'm wanting them for when I'm dryer/warmer/in faster caves but want to know my options. So anyone got any recommendations?
