You bet see you there as long it does not clash with northern round up

It better not!  Just looking at the HE line up for the weekend and there's so many talks I want to go to somethings going to clash.
Really hope it's not Peak and Northern round ups tho....... :' :read:

Great job to all involved. Very much enjoyed your presentation at HE

For those who are interested, we've put up trip reports of all the Crusader trips onto the Eldon website:
http://www.eldonpotholeclub.org.uk/index.php/homepage/current-uk-projects/crusader

In addition to these there is an article and the latest survey in the latest Descent (issue 240).

However i'm glad to say exploration is continuing, so we're hoping to add another +100m to the survey this week...

Hi Rob,

What's happened to the Eldon Website? Haven't been able to connect for about a week (from home or work). 

Thanks,
Phil.

Re the Eldon website - I noticed I couldn't get through on Nov. 1st, and mentioned it on the Earby Anchor thread.

Googling 'Eldon Pothole Club' and clicking on www.eldon.org.uk/bagshawe_cavern.html gets you into the old site - but it's the new one we need!

 

[Leclused]

I could acces the website without any problems a minute ago

[Rob]

Yes, just rebooted the server. Not sure what was causing the problem....

 

[martinm]

[Pipster]

Thanks rob.

The Crusader survey is now available from the Eldon website:

I hope some of you get to follow it... We only ask that you let us know before pushing any leads.

Great work all.

What happens at the end of Poisened Chalice; any prospects?

What happens at the end of Poisened Chalice; any prospects?

The passage breaks into a boulder choke. It doesn't look like a big one, most of the boulders are football sized, and it's got to be one of the most promising places for a dig in Castleton. It's the preceding 30m of flatout, low airspace ming that will seriously test the digger who takes up the challenge...

 

[Goydenman]

Good survey of a great find  thanks for making it available to all. Digging at the end of Poisoned chalice by the sounds of it for a most determined digger  but incredible potential.

Great work Rob, and thanks for sharing. Looking at the big model, it seems to be trending into a very interesting area indeed. I'm guessing there should be another major NW/SE joint coming up soon...though if it's that horrible in there it may be better looking higher up!
