*Update* I descended the NW route this afternoon. Approaching the “Traverse path” to the top of “The Bridge” I could see evidence of rockfall on the path. After some aerial acrobatics to swing over and climb onto the ledge, I had a good look around. I have written a bit of a “summary” below...

Heart rate monitor from yesterday. First spike is from the “brisk” walk up, the second spike is exactly the time of the rockfall 😱

Thanks Tim. The sobering part is that as one of the most popular caves in the country I (and countless other people) have been stood in that exact spot numerous times. I suspect you are right regarding the location. Unless reports come back before from someone else, I intend to descend the...

Hi John Absolutely!! Im really glad you mentioned this, it has been ticking over in my mind. We were just looking up at the daylight “shaft” when the rock came down into view, it did absolutely appear to be traveling slowly, I think this is why we were both sure about the “microwave size”...

Thanks, just needed to wash my undersuit on a higher temperature 😂

We both “independently” thought it was about that size, it definitely wasn’t a “cobble”. Hopefully things will become clearer in the coming days, unfortunately I am committed elsewhere, otherwise I would get down there for a look.

A response from a post I put FB. “Hi Ian, my group and I walked past the uphill side of the wall at that time and I can confirm that nothing was chucked over the wall or disturbed by anything other than footfall. Glad you’re ok 👍” My response: “Thanks for that information. We did...

Sunday 5th May We had just got to the bottom of Diccan Pot when we heard a rock “boom” from the direction of the open shaft. Time: 12.55. We headed up towards the bottom of the last pitch of Alum Pot to look at the view. Literally as we looked up at the daylight a rock (we both estimated to...

It is definitely in the “luxury” category for sure 👌

Upper and lower Long Churn is the plan depending on the weather. This day is aimed at an “introduction” to the sport of caving with approximately 2 1/2 - 3 hours underground. We don’t do any vertical rope work. I feel this day may not be “extreme” enough for you. I guess your 2 options are...

Would pair quite nicely with some kind of rocket in the main chamber I have a vague recollection of !

That’s the one 👍

Always seem easy when you make them 😂 Its a shop and the items are for sale

My last one I think. It’s been an interesting insight into AI though.

Cow pot ?

The last pitch in Alum Pot that is normally bypassed by a crawl ?

Hagg Gill ?
