    An informative discussion

    Recently there was long thread about the BCA. I can now post possible answers to some of the questions, such as "Why is the BCA still raising membership prices when there is a significant amount still left in its coffers?"

    France: Merveilleuse-Vertige

    Has anyone done this through-trip in the Borne massif of the French Alps before, or know anyone who has? A less famous and more recent through-trip than its neighbour, the Diau. It looks great on paper and I have detailed guidebook routes and surveys, but I just can't see much about it online...

    Whisky Bottle Junction, Rampgill

    Sad to report that Whisky Bottle Junction is now just 'Junction'. It looks like somebody has cleared all the bottles out, and the sign too. Maybe I've made an assumption, and they've actually been removed somewhere safe for conservation reasons, but they're probably on some Urbex-er's trophy...

    Lost Pantin - Easegill

    I've stupidly shed my battered old Pantin at some point either on the High Level route between Lancaster and Stop Pot, or in the bedding between Stop Pot and Eureka Junction. If anyone comes across it, I'd be overjoyed to get it back in return for alcohol of your choice

    Splav Oversuit - review

    After my AV Titan fell apart after just a year of weekly use (although it was the most comfortable suit I've used) I reluctantly decided to try out a new wildcard suit in the hopes of discovering a hidden gem. I ordered the Splav Speleosuit from RusArmyShop, hoping that Soviet engineering had...

    All the Easegill entrances

    I've spent some recent lockdown time visiting every entrance in the NC Easegill chapter, initially to sniff some cave drafts but it evolved into taking a photo of each. In case anyone's interested, there they all are together below. If anyone/any organisation has any use for any or all of them...

    Smeltmill Beck Cave + area (North Pennines)

    Hey guys, On my way over the A66 yesterday I decided to stop by Smeltmill Beck Cave (on the small local access road coming down past North Stainmore) after reading the 'Memoirs of a Moldywarp' article here. As I was in a bit of a rush I didn't have time for a thorough look around, I climbed...

    Hey guys, intrigued novice here. So far we've only touristed Valley Entrance (to the top of the pitch), Great Douk, the Churns and some of the Runscar area caves (which my 2nd question relates to). I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for new caves we could visit, something similar to...
