I don't think this thread recommends Shoe goo at all for sticking stuff ..........

Can't recall the product number but the best stuff is black . I had some clear for another job and tried to repair a show with the left over. It worked, but not as well as the black.....

Sikaflex. The black stuff. I've used it to stick sea kayak bulkhead and hatches, and a pair of mtb boots which looked terminal. They have been used hard for a year and are doing fine. Shoego is something I use a lot too, but it is less good as a glue

I only know of the ladder route down the gully, which looks just horrible, and the srt route which starts at the now dead tree. There was a spit just over the lip to minimise rope rub. There are now resin anchors below the lip and at the ledge. But as mikem says.....leave well alone for...

No, but they are Schedule 1.............very protected.

Please stay away from Jackdaw Hole for the next couple of months. A bird has nested right in line with the srt drop......  TC

Just go somewhere else? It's for family fun after all.

I had a D triact come undone and disengaged from my caving harness, leaving me dangling on one leg loop. I wasn't caving, but preparing to chainsaw up a tree. Not for me. Ever again.

I ordered what they offered........ Though it failed under the trade description act !

13th April 2024. They were cappuccino s. Weak, and flat white after 2 minutes.....

I hope the coffee will be better than next door ......three of us voted it the worse cup of coffee we had ever tasted. And we all have a long life experience of coffee so that's saying something. Never again! Looking forward to testing Bernie s coffee sometime soon.

As always, wise words from Cavematt ;)

Many of the spit caves are hidden gems and well worth the effort........

The biggest barrier for women is the state of the hut toilets. I'm a member of four caving clubs, only one of them has toilets reasonably clean ( because they pay for professional cleaners). Why do old guys think it is ok to piss all over the seat then just walk away?

FFS........That is not the solution. At all. Unbelievable. I'll use mine sewn up, and look elsewhere when I need a new harness.
