    I'm sure that there is a "Reading Room" somewhere in S. Wales.

    Whale tail descenders

    Update. I can view the sites on my phone; so this is obviously a problem with my PC antivirus software.

    Whale tail descenders

    The links still don't work for me. I have been viewing Gary's excellent sites now for many years; any ideas why I cannot now access them on my PC. Technical help anyone?

    Whale tail descenders

    Why are those links not working for me anymore? I get a "site not found" message, or a page with "test" in the top left corner. Any idea what might be wrong at my end?

    Whale tail descenders

    Gary Storricks excellent museum appears to have gone completely offline. I can't find it anywhere. If anyone knows where it is now I'd be much obliged.

    CT CRIC Device Back In Stock

    Has anyone on here used on of these underground? It looks like a good piece of kit, but is it up to the rigours of water and mud?

    Savoie caves information

    We are going to the Speleology Congress in France in July, mainly to visit some of the caves that they will have rigged. A couple of cavers don't do vertical, so I am after any information you can give me on horizontal caves in that area, without any pitches. We will be staying in St-Offenge...

    Interesting looking stone

    Someone started a thread not long back on the same topic, but I have failed to find it; so I have to start a new one. Does anyone have a view on how this formed? The highlighter is for scale. I am sure that the rock is sandstone, but I might be wrong. It looks like someone made a rubbish pot...

    Do you know what this is?

    I was looking at a display of old tools at a steam rally recently and spotted this. The man who owned it had no idea what it is; does anyone on here?

    Mines near Bala

    We are going to Bala for a week; what mines are nearby that I could take my lad into for a simple trip. He won't mind getting wet up to his knees, but no pitches. He's tough and has done plenty of mines and caves, but he hasn't done any ladders or SRT yet. Thanks for any info.

    Petzl Duo battery holder

    Does anyone out there have a knackered Duo lying in a box? I have a good Duo, but the battery holder is missing its terminals. Any offer of a battery holder for a small fee will be much appreciated.

    Caves in The Lot region

    I am spending Xmas in the Lot with my family. Can anyone recommend me some caves that would be suitable for me to take my kids into. Nothing wet, it's December and we'll only have dry caving kit with us, if I take it at all.

    Viper Light battery

    My Viper Light has gone down after eight years of trusty service. I have noticed the battery life going down for a while, but suddenly last week it only gives about 10 minutes after a full charge. When I charge the battery the green light illuminates on the charger after about 10 minutes to show...
