Interesting, we came across similar rings / circles made out of stal in Belize. Dont think they were as old mind

Wow! Excellent, I can replace the last one I left in a pub Thanks for organising such good prizes. :-)

In 2010 Ian Peachey and myself ended up on a winter trip to Castleguard in the Canadian Rockies carrying dive kit for Martin Groves. Terrified of the cold, fresh out of uni and with no cash we both independantly bought the cheapest and biggest down jackets available, lemon curd coloured and on a...

Where are you based? A local indeendant optician is probably your best bet here. Without knowing your prescription, my advice would be: Either. varifocals with a good quality antiglare / anti cratch coating. Your lenses will get scratched caving, but the majority of my suppliers offer a 2 year...

Just a quick note to say that one rung on the top ladder up to the Riflemans dig has failed. The rest of the ladder looks to be in an equally poor state and I wouldnt advise using it. It is possble to climb up around the ladder and the horizontal bar seems to be in good shape. The lower ladder...

Heads up, there is a DCRO training event based at Giants car park this Sunday. Whilst the cave wont be particularly busy, the car park will be. So probably best avoided if possible.

I haven't done the P40. But a couple of friends did over the weekend. It seems like the meanders in the P40 are tighter, but those in the Bob Vouay are never desperate, but longer (much longer!). It took them 4 hours to do P40 to Trou de Glaz and us around 7 hours from Bob Vouay to the end of...

Hi Langcliffe, Thanks for your efforts translating the descriptions. 3 of us did the pull through from Bob Vouay to Guiers Mort over the weekend. Excellent trip and very little confusion with the description. Just for note, there were a few additional short pitches in the meanders that...

Fair point.

Clearly theft of anothers belongings (rope, maillions etc) is out of order. But how can you justify restricting access to others of something we all get a great deal of enjoyment out of because we are 'bona-fide' cavers...? Look how pissed off most cavers get when access to 'bona-fide' cavers...

Went in Lancaster to look at the main drain via Wilf Taylors on the weekend. The rope on the second climb is very dubious and is frayed / cored in at least 3 places, one of which forms the anchor and can't be isolated. I'd suggest taking your own rope and using the P-Bolts a bit further along...

Happy to do that Pete

Hi Ari Can you add the Cardiff Hill Divers please.

My first thought also!

Great survey Al

Hi, I have 2x spare tickets to the event if anyone would care to take them off my hands that would be great :-)

Have you got plan?

Improved the contrast Al.

Ta, how do I get into 'expert' mode. Or do I need to be an expert...

Thanks Rob, can I ask the difference between .th and .th2? What sketch settings would you recommend. Been playing with some of my old topodroid sketches in therion and it seems to be quite a slow/clunky process! However, willing to accept that this is user error!
