Hi Ian I did the North west SRT route on Friday 3rd and did not notice anything out of place at the top of the pot by the trees and ledges on the way down. I have noticed a few wobbly rocks on the traverse around to the bridge /greasy slab area over the years . Glad you came to no harm.

HB @Bernie's krab I found in my collection the other day. Will the new cafe be making kit aswell?

Hi all I have recently acquired two FX lamps ,batteries and charger .Along with a Oldham lamp and charger. (See photo) I would love to restore them to working order either retro fit with LED and new batteries or keep the old bulbs . Any advice welcome. Or Do I sell them? Or Do I put on the...

In Bagshaw today and water was just about at the bottom of the Dungeon pitch surprisingly . Interesting how different areas get the rain.

Hi all. I am trying to identify this fossil. My first impressions were it to be a fin of some kind. Or is it like a coral species ? If anyone has a idea please could they let me know. Thanks

Has anyone have any information about Hanberside mine / level to the North west of Malham on pikedaw hill. I had a look into the entrance today but would like to have more information before venturing further in.

I used to drive a old landrover defender and was stopped numerous times by the police after late night caving trips after concerned people calling it in. The police quite often found it hard to believe a 20 year old had been out caving on a Friday night.

I have been caving for 20 years and yes in that time i have caved solo numerous times. it certainly makes you concentrate. I go underground as a hobby and for work and my first aid kit has changed numerous times. My current kit mainly focuses on warming people and giving people energy to get out...

Those are great!

Cavers belts are still widely used by outdoor activity providers for clients when caving and gorge walking. Used on steep terrain where a rope may be attached for either confidence or to prevent a tumble, but without the risk of being free-hanging. Easy to put on/ off, quick to check, good for a...

The small dig is strait ahead at the junction of left towards the window and right towards the main chamber.

Hopefully, someone can help on here.. In Goyden Pot near the main entrance at the first main junction, a small dig seems to have appeared. Maybe I've never noticed it before but i am sure the little dry stone wall is new. A new route down to the main chamber? A new way for flood water to go...

I used to work at a children's activity center that had indoor caving made out of fiberglass . I remember a staff member becoming stuck and had to be cut out. I also had to deal with nose bleeds, vomit and panic attacks .

Looking to re-home this Ferno water rescue stretcher/spinal board. It has come from a swimming pool. Unsure of it's history as I have only just acquired it after the swimming pool shut down. Maybe it can be used for training or as a spare for a MRT/CRO team. PM me for more details of you would...

Found a tupperwear tub with some rechargable batteries and the remains of chocolate bars in Fing hopeless pot . Let me know if there yours and I will return. You will probably only want the batteries HP

Afternoon all. Hope you are all holding up well in these different times. Just need to verify something. Is it possible to do a thorough trip from GG and out of Clapham bottoms ?  Or any other way from GG  and out the bottom without diving? Myself and a friend have been learning the system over...

The other day myself and friend visited Buckden Gavel mine :o ( yes I know its a mine and not a cave but I am not on Adit now) very interesting mine and worth a good look around when it is to wet to go down a cave. We found numerous bits of rubbish, glow sticks, old gloves, bottles etc that we...

I once got told that Darren drums used to be used for transporting pig sperm before being then sold on to the caving community? Was this just a pub / club hut story or tru? Thanks

As most caves were underwater this evening we made the trip back to pikedaw calamine caverns. On the large boulder slope  after the great shake ( going up to near the 8ft pitch)  we noticed a rock that has recently fallen out of the wall / boulder choke. It was about car engine size and signs...
