    Croesor Rhosydd - Boat is stuck

    Someone more knowledgable may provide better info but I think the elegant pulley system is not in any way functional at the moment and I don't know how you would fix that. If you approach from Croesor you will need a boat or a willingness to swim to go and get the existing boat. Freeing the...

    Protecting Flashguns

    I use Yongnuo flashes and I used to put them whole into a Peli 1060 case. If you get the transparent option and cut out a bit of the rubber insert then it seems to let through enough light. That worked well but the 1060 case is quite large and there was a decent amount of wasted space left in...

    Croesor Rhosydd - Boat is stuck

    We could see the half of the boat in the distance and it was above water. I'm not familiar with the mine so I can't say if it was floating or on a shallow bit. We pulled the only cord that crossed the pool quite hard but there was zero movement from the boat and the cord went round the corner...

    Croesor Rhosydd - Boat is stuck

    An FYI that we attempted a through trip through Croesor but the boat for one of the pools is very stuck on the Rhosydd side. We debated going for a swim but decided to go back out Croesor. Still a great trip in a very picturesque mine.

    Disto X2 battery

    Ah nice. I think I would need to place the order relatively soon so I will let you know. Another one or two people would make that postage cost a lot more palatable!

    Found - Camera in Agen Allwedd

    We found a camera tucked away on a shelf in Biza passage. I think we left it at Whitewalls so if you are not local and want to claim it I think get in contact with the hut warden John.

    Disto X2 battery

    Is there any chance you would need one of the non-magnetic batteries? https://www.powerstream.com/non-magnetic-lipo.htm I'm hoping to find some people to put together an order with to split the postage.

    Disto X2 battery

    Just so I know where to find this I think the correct battery is the PGEB-NM053040 and it is available here: https://www.powerstream.com/non-magnetic-lipo.htm $20 each but $60 for shipping 😓

    Disto X2 battery

    Hey, If you haven't yet found one I also am looking for two batteries. If no one has any around we could put together an order and save some postage? Rhys

    LOST: Karabiner and sling in Swinsto

    TLDR: One carabiner with "glow in the dark ghosts" duct tape on it and one red/white sling attached to said carabiner were left behind attached to the pull through bolts half way down the big split pitch in Swinsto. I would be grateful for a return. I am mostly at the NPC but will pick up...

    DistoX2 - where can I get one?

    Hey, Thought it might be useful to let people know that I have bought some boards off the guy in Kenilworth's link: http://forums.caves.org/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=18121 I did a bit of digging and mutual contact finding to attempt to verify him and was satisfied that he is a real person and is...

    Therion - create centerline svg with stations as objects?

    Solved! By using the XVI files. As they actually export the 2d position associated with the station you can pull it out using a script and dump them into a th2 file. Thanks for all the suggestions and links. This is the script I ended up with. ##### initiliase_map.py ##### import os from...
