Amazing - rather him than me!!!

Is the Chelsea S. S. digging special newsletter only available to purchase or will there be a pdf download at some stage?

Over the years I have carried out many fluorescein tests and learnt that it is probably better to try and extend the plume by injecting the dye in several small amounts spread out over a period of time. This gives longer for potential observation and may well reduce the strength of colouration...

Hi Jason, One of the major problems with Sleets Gill is not knowing how much water is already percolating down through the overlying limestone in quite a large catchment area. Because of this, a relatively small amount of rain can provide enough extra percolation water to produce flooding in the...

Hi Dave and Kristian, If you hold a brush in each hand, Dave, and stand on Kristin's shoulders you should just about get the painting finished in time for a grand opening event at Easter!!!! Seriously, though, I wish you good luck with this venture. I've told a number of people I know who take...

Hi Chris, Hope you and Carolina are both well. Thanks for your message. I shall await any developments on the 'date on the cover' matter with interest!!! Cheers, Harry

I know I've said it before but can you put the date (i.e February, 2024) in the space to the right of the word Descent to balance the number. This will help considerably in locating previous articles where the issue number is unknown.

Being an ancient old fool now (!) should not be seen as preventing me from having had a great caving lifetime, Alex. They were fabulous times and may inspire you to keep detailed notes of your explorations.

Thanks Simon. I hope that you may now be inspired to write a book containing details of your many trips into Mossdale. Caverns. It would surely be a true classic.

What a great video from Si and Di - thanks guys. If I was 40 years younger I would want to join them on their next trip and see that wonderful passage for myself. At least this video gives me a very good idea of what I'm missing!

Hi Tim, Some great reports on what sounds like fantastic caving. Long may your trips continue. Get a book written before the details fade - I know what I said but I promise I won't come sniping after you!

A Jehovah's witness knocked on my door a week ago but as I answered his knock my phone rang. I told him to wait there and went to deal with the phone. A week has elapsed and he is still sitting, waiting on my doorstep. How do I get rid of him?

Get your dad to do the odd shift behind the counter!!!!!!! Good luck with your venture, Kristian.

I knew the guys at Inglesport were the right people to deal with sales for me. Well done everybody.

I've only just seen your welcome,Pegasus - thanks very much. I'm still learning to find my way round the site so may make the odd mistake or two!!!!

good luck with your venture.

Yes, it is really me. Ian. Thanks for your welcome.

Nice to see some good comments about Weekend Explorers: thanks folk. A pity Badlad hasn't written a book about his many ventures. If he had, or ever does I shall be able to return the type of comment he made about mine, not that I would, of course!!!!!!

Hi Keith, Thanks for sending me the link. Having now watched your film, I think it is up there with the best caving films I have seen. I hope you have a great New Year and turn out more superb videos in 2024. Best wishes, Harry Long
