Skylotec Spark? Not used it myself but I’ve heard good things.

I think it’s very likely there’s more to be found - but I’ll leave it to someone else. You’d need to be insane to dig up there with any sort of regularity.

Oscar Doyle + Andy Thompson Derbyshire’s most feckless duo have had Assault course in our sights for some time - so it was that on Saturday morning that we extricated ourselves from our nice warm beds, shook off the hangover and loaded up the car. Getting to the cave just in time ~10:15 -...
