Hi All I was diving in Hurtle Pot on Sunday and when I was out the farmer who owns the land approached me saying the gate down to the entrance had been left open on the previous two weekends. I suspect its been left open by walkers, rather than divers (I definitely closed it!), but he was...

Tried to go down ireby today and the entrance is blocked by a massive boulder. It's obveosouly fallen in from the side of the shakehole and has landed straight on top of the pipe in the entrance, completely blocking it. We tried to haul it out with a 18:1, but it was going nowhere, it really is...

Does anybody have a copy of the NCC journal "The Caver" number 6 from 1989. I could do with a scan of the pages on the downstream Gavel sump - I think its pages 1 to 6. Thanks! B

What is the chest jammer of choice these days? Big Croll, little Croll, CT Evo, or something different? My little Croll was slipping really badly on Sunday and could do with being replaced! Thanks!

Does anybody have any dead BL1440 Makita batteries, typically used with a 14.4v SDS drill? Doesn't matter if either the cells or the electronics are dead, I only want the case - I've got some spare electronics  modules, so I'm gonna knock up a couple of battery packs. Thanks! B

Has anybody written a converter to convert On Station survey files into Survex format? Got 6 years of data from our Burma expeditions in On Station and need to convert them. Thanks!

Somebody gave me a Scurion battery to fix at Hidden Earth (with orange electrical tape on it).  I was either drunk or hungover when they gave it to me - so I cant remember who it was! If its yours send me a message, its fixed! B

Anybody know how much rain there has been in Castleton over the last week or so? Planning on diving in Speedwell on Saturday and wondering if I should bother sorting my kit or not! B

Anybody been in Hole in the Floor recently? Is it open or blocked? Thanks! B

I was tidying up the lines between Jingle Junction and Jingle Bell in upstream Hurtle on Saturday, and yet again I found a load of tech line in there. There was a good length of 3mm white nylon line from the top of the void, up to Frog hall - I've stripped it out and replaced it with something...
