    NCHECC antics at Alum Pot

    Hey everyone, a friend suggested I share this here as a sort of 'this is what I've been up to' kind of post. Last weekend was NCHECC and I had a great time seeing friends and getting up to all the other fun and mischief that happens when lots of cavers get together... As well as this though, it...

    Petzl Duos looking for a home

    I have 9 Petzl Duo headtorches that are no longer needed by Nottingham Uni Caving Club; 7 that were fixed to the helmet via screws and 2 that come with headbands. All lights work, both on the 14 led setting and the single bulb, and those that were fixed with screws will come with those as well...

    Hi, if anyone happens to have a copy of Descent Magazine issue no. 2, I'd greatly appreciate if they could tell me what it contains on the 1968 NUCC expedition to Picos de Europa. I'm told that there is a brief report on their findings but would very much like to read it. Thank you!

    Caving Snacks

    Hi all, I've recently decided to (attempt to) give up chocolate/sweets under some funny notion that its bad for me... This would be fine but my main caving snack has always been the 'insert supermarket here' knock off brand of snikers, or mars if I'm feeling a change. What are your go-to snacks...

    St Valentine's and F5 - Giants

    Does anyone know what the state of the bailing system in St Valentines is like at the moment? I saw a thread a while back talking about replacing it but couldn't seem to find out if the work was finished. Asking as I'd quite like to do a round trip down the filthy five next week (depending on...

    Expeditions Jan - August?

    Hi all, I have some free time from now until the start of September '23 and am interested in participating in a few expeditions abroad (or in the UK). I was wondering if anyone knows of any taking place that I might be able to join? Thanks : )
