Git a sad Darren drum without a lid. Anyone got a monkey lid that I could match it up with? Currently based in Leeds

At Sids memorial the family put out a load of photos they had no room for for people to take. Naturally I scooped up loads as they were free and thought I'd share them here in order to identify them before sending scans to the BCRA Library for archiving. If anyone can spot who or whats in these...

After more than 6 months of effort getting the place up to scratch Bernie's has finally opened its doors. Starting to let you know now we've had a couple of days to get the operation ironed out and working smoothly. Its been a long road getting here redecorating the place, refitting the...

I've got a cabinet I want to stock up with historic gear for the general public to match the one that's already up. Petzl glooms, broken duos, old rope all offers considered. If you got anything lying around let me know and I'll see if I can make room for it in the display.

Found an old Darren drum body sans lid. Don't suppose there anyone out there with a lid sans body? It's for display in Bernie's so the more battered the better.

Hi All Dave Brook has agreed to buy Bernie's with the sale due to go through in March which of all things go according to plan is when we intend to open. I'll be running the place and and making the transition from rope access monkey to cafe manager. I've spent the past month slowly moving in...

Found a hp30 light in my travels but it is sans battery box. Anyone happen to have something suitable for it?

Got a bit of cave swag the other day that very handily held my pantin though the trip while the rest of my harness was used to rig the remaing sections on monastary. No markings.

Found a go pro whilst dredging the river Derwent. Don't know what happened to the owner. But this video was on it, already edited. Maybe UKcaving can help solve the mystery of what happened to this group of feckless morons.

Hi All Trying to make more videos but having issues with lighting just not getting enough out of my Nora 4 in bigger cave passage or areas with darker rock. My initial thought has been to get some compact site lights to help illuminate larger passage. Also to get some side mount lights on my...

I've got myself a Go pro as a present so here's another video of a trip down Giants as my first attempt at gaining viral fame. Feel free to give it a watch if you've got 20 minutes spare The trip was down to East Canal but the battery konked out in the upper galleries but much rubbish was...

Found 2 Karabiners with purple and orange tape still on bolts on a traverse in Notts pot a couple of weeks back. Let me know the colour and we can arrange a collection.

If I put the same amount of effort into organising as alliteration I wouldn't have this problem. ULSA are coming to Wales but we've hit a bit of a snag due to the popularity of caving. We've got 15 bunks at the SWCC booked but 30 people turning up. I've checked the other caving huts of the...

I'm looking for some cheap fleece salopettes similar to these. https://www.gillmarine.com/gb/mens/sailing-trousers/i4-salopettes.html I'm wanting them for when I'm dryer/warmer/in faster caves but want to know my options. So anyone got any recommendations?

Left an adjustable spanner on the boulder outside the Darren entrance. Don't particularly want it back so if someone finds it they're welcome to it.

Can you take your SRT kit onto a plane as hand baggage these days? I'm flying out to Croatia with easyjet and was thinking of taking on my SRT kit and climbing gear as hand baggage to save on the weight in my hold luggage. Has anyone else done this recently let me know if it is ok or does...

Hi there. Against my better judgement I've been made an independent representative on the BCA council so I'll be representing independent and younger cavers for the BCA seeing as I'm also the youngest member on the council. If you've never met me I'll give you a brief Bio of myself. I'm a...

I've been a pillock and lost my Camera down Birks Fell Cave due to my holey pockets (I'll never forgive my vicar for blessing them). It's a blue Fuji XP170 camera that is very handily in a black camera case so if anyone's down there could you keep an eye out Either it dropped out of my pockets...

Lost my ULSA club Tshirt during a CDG try diving session duing Hidden Earth. Anyone seen it? It's dark green and has the ULSA logo on the back. Need it back as without it I don't know what club I'm in and wake up in the middle of the night thinking I'm a member of the YSS.

Can anyone recommend some caving huts, bunk houses, cottages or caver friendly hostels in Ireland (preferably around Kilfenora) for about 8+ people.
