Someone has pilfered my Northern Caves 1 (someone who I thought I trusted) and I am looking into having a poke around the Caves/Mines at Eller Beck - Gretadale. Can anyone furbish me with the surveys/descriptions?

Sad news I am afraid... I have just learnt that Dave Whitely has passed away. His funeral will be tomorrow, Tuesday 2nd of June, at 11am at Dukinfield Cemetry. There will be drinks in The Crown in Glossop afterwards.

I need scraps of Shark Skin Neoprene; off-cuts old wetsuits etc. Currently trying to squeeze a bit more life from my wetsuits and I need to make some patches. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers JT

Shaun at Hitch n Hike has posted some video footage on his website. It shows Simon C diving through to our last dig in Bagshawe Resurgence and is a great piece of video by Simon. http://www.peakdistrictcaving.info/caving_videos_bagshawe_resurgence_2008.htm

Its gone! Simon Cornhill and I broke through the dig on Saturday. We put two shifts in each, me first using a sledge hammer and wrestling with boulders then Simon who made like a bulldozer and cleared a path to open passage where Simon B's line reel was sat, dead ahead, three metres away! After...

Don't suppose that anyone out there happens to have a single phase, 240v, 4hp, 3000rpm, electric motor kicking around? Trying to avoid spending ?200 at Machine Mart.

Thought I might share my new 'Scoff O Bag' bouyancy device... Pull Dump Inflator Pull Dump String Guide

The Derbyshire Section will be hosting next years CDG Training Camp. The date for the camp will be the 13th and 14th of June. This date has been chosen as it is the same weekend as this years camp and it seemed the least likely date to clash with other caving events. The venue will be the...

Lost my diving mask yesterday, probably at Keld Head. It's black and if anyone is passing could they please pop and have a look. Cheers John

Medium sized red tackle sack with a reflective "Resue" sign on the front. Lost in the air-bell immidiately upstream of sump 3 in Swildons on Sat 24th May about 1pm. If found please let me know as Dan was quite attached to it. Cheers

The response to the AGM invite has been excellent and it looks like it's going to be a good do! The TSG is looking busy, as SUSS also have a meeting on Saturday, although I have tried to dib room in the members bunk-room. I will be camping at pindale...

On Saturday 24th November 2007 Simon Brooks, John Taylor and Simon Cornhill made a breakthrough in sump II. Simon B and John dived to clear some boulders then Simon C dived and was first to brake new ground reeling out line from 11m at the dig face to 15m, all that was on the reel. On Thursday...

This is probably not news to established divers but its something that I did not know. Luxfer Aluminium cylinders made with 6082 and 6351 alloys require NDT testing every 12months as well as an Hydro test every 24months and the NDT test is about £60  :o All HOAL cylinders are made from 6082...

Can anyone please help me decipher this? From the cylinder markings below, what are the tank capacities in litres? Cylinder #1 ICC-3AA2250 HJ131314 10 66+ Cylinder #2 CTCO273261 A771 TP4170PSI 10 69 WP2500PSI Cylinder #3 TP3000PSI 566 LR WP2500PSI HOT CTCO173841 Cylinder #4...

Duncan Is that because of the type of cave diving that you prefer or because of the usefulness of 300bar 7's? Hope you guys dont mind but this excellent debate was straying from the original topic, 'Slinging Stage Cylinders', and I dont want it to be burried so I have split it out from the...

Scenario; Cave has four sumps, first two will be done with 300bar 7's and the second two with 232bar 7's. Tanks will be side mounted. Question; What is the best way of carrying the 232 7's through the first two sumps? Had a dive through Peak Cavern Resurgance on Saturday with them mounted like...

It looks like it has been there for a while! An probably dates from less PC ridden times as it is called a Cressi-sub Killer
