Anyone following our thread on the reopening of North End Pot will have heard me mention the second pitch into St Georges Hall. See thread https://ukcaving.com/board/index.php?threads/new-work-at-north-end-pot.33118/ The pitch had been left rigged for a long time, possibly since the original...

Hi all Here is a fine photograph of North End Pot taken just last week. In the righthand corner we have the new North by North End Pot entrance which connects to LLean Bean Aven and the Eastern Front of the Three Counties System. This thread isn't about that. In the lefthand corner we have...

Hi all I was contacted through climbing friends by Estrella Gonzales. She is looking for British cavers to help with her sport science project by filling in a questionnaire. I'll copy the introduction and link in the next post. If you are interested in helping please follow the link and...

I was given a couple of Singing Rock workseats a while ago. Both were rejected on a thorough examination for work gear. However, cavers might find a use for them. If anyone wants one they are free for collection from our house near ingleton.

Moderator comment: New thread with posts after Bernie's recent closure moved from thread https://ukcaving.com/board/index.php?threads/bernies-is-now-open.32115/. Had my first visit yesterday which I enjoyed very much, only to hear this morning that Bernies is closing in January :(. Oh well...

Let me be the first to say.. Merry Christmas Caver Keith 😉

If you park at Yordas and take the path over towards Heron you pass two strange enclosures. They seem to have some sort of ground monitoring equipment in them. Curious as to what they are.

Anyone know? Got four good prizes for HE to give away but don't know who is organising this. Who do I see? Cheers

Hi all Can anyone help out here. It does need to be a referenced figure not just a guess or back of a fag packet calculation. I wondered if this was referenced in Caves and Karst of the Yorkshire Dales anywhere, or whether Sam or Beardy had this in Northern Caves. A total length of caves in...

Hey all, guess what, it's me ;):):clap: Since it was introduced in 2016 this position has remained unfilled. The idea is to have someone on the CNCC committee to represent those who cave independent of the club structure. This is a significant number of cavers. I've no idea how many but 20%...

Dear all The Space Miners, a 'chums' group of Dales diggers, would like to announce a recent extension of some 90km to North End Pot. Or another way of putting it - North End Pot has been connected to Llean Bean Aven, in the Eastern Front extensions of Large Pot. This is hot news having only...

It appears that we might have missed a major forum birthday. I just checked when Bubba's first post was. Bubba started the forum BTW. It was 16th January 2003. Ah well. Happy birthday. There is probably a meme to go along with that ;)🎂

We were talking about the Bull i Thorn the other day as one of the past venues for parties of all kinds. Where are the best venues these days for a bit of a do? You know the thing - a small club bash, significant birthday, wedding do etc. Thanks in advance

The Rift Pot below Marble Steps. It was rigged when I was last down a couple of years ago. Anyone looked at it more recently? Cheers

I was thinking of the effect of the long distant flights to certain caving expedition areas abroad. Mulu, Mexico, Megahalaya to name a few. Other than not flying so far, or at all, how do you calculate your carbon use and what can you do to offset it? I've seen various companies which charge...

So Dartmoor National Park won it's appeal. The judge saying that being in a tent is 'open air recreation'. Whilst not a game changer in itself but clearly helpful to the case that 'open air recreation' includes being in a cave.

Interesting feature in the magazine of the Yorkshire Dales NP

Hey all. It's been a few years since we last supported summer expos as the global pandemic seems to have got in the way. This deal is really aimed at the summer expeditions with lots of student and youth participants. The amount of rope offered will depend on how many successfully apply but...

Look which publication featured on this long running topical news quizz.

Above Yordas there are two dams built across the stream with concrete and rebar. Looks quite old. Down either side of the Yordas enclosure there appear to be old excavations, possibly drainage channels. Can anyone shed any light of what these were for?
