Yesterday on a trip down Ireby just a little past the bottom of Pussy pitch we found on a ledge a small yellow dry bag containing an inhaler. On the way out we picked it up and brought it back to the surface leaving it in an obvious place at the bottom of the entrance ladder. Thinking about...

Please be aware that there has been another big fall of rock from the roof of Goyden main chamber. The slabs that have fallen made up the start of the huge suspended arch that is seen after turning right at the end of first section of the entrance tunnel. Many tons of rock have fallen with many...

With the recent activity on UK Caving regarding Lidar and cave surveying, let get a new thread going on the this subject and possibly others such as Photogrametry. Historically Lidar kit has been stupidly expensive and has not really been within the realms of your average cavers budget...

A bit last minute I know but if you don?t ask... We are short of one possibly two Sherpas for a dive carry to Beetroot sump in Goyden pot tomorrow. It?s a nice trip with two pitches, more walking than crawling and you get to see the excellent, not often visited Beetroot passage with its jet...

Having been told many times by the nice UK Caving lady :furious: that Facebook is for losers and we should post more on here, I have decided to try and mirror our FB digging reports for all to read. They are generally not very exciting but do form some sort of a record of events. If anyone...

This coming Saturday -24th- we have a full team dig on the main Guscott choke. It looks like we have a dozen or so people coming but more would be welcome as we need a lot of people to get stuff back to the surface. The current dig face is approx 23m vertical from the surface and the route is...

We (Nick, Tony and Chris) met in How Stean cafe once again for coffee and cake....nice but the chairs grab you and it is hard to leave! Once changed and 2.45pm we set off for the hole briefly stopping on the way to spot and discuss fault features in that area. In particular we are interested in...

Having had a brief chat with someone last year regarding using a Disto underwater and having just read Duncans reply to my post in the the previous topic my interest in how to achive a successful undewater survey has been prodded. Obviously a housing of some type is needed, what are people...

We are having another dig day in the main Guscott choke this Saturday 7th Oct. Anybody interested is more than welcome to come and have a dig. After the session last month with ULSA the shaft in the choke started to look really tasty and fast progress is pretty much assured on Saturday but we...

The Nidderdale resurvey data so far is now available to view in the Northern England section of the Cave Registry Data Archive. http://cave-registry.org.uk/svn/NorthernEngland/ The resurvey is not yet complete but hopefully time permitting should be finished this year. You will need to...

Hi, Has anyone got a couple of PGEB-NM053040 batteries they would like to sell. Needed for Disto builds. Just one would be a help.

I just did the V2.3 firmware update on my X310, everything worked OK, PDA said update complete, switched of the disto then re started it and got absolutely nothing the disto seems dead. I have the correct Pocket Topo version installed, fully charged battery, what have I done wrong...
