I have a strong suspicion that moving this to the shit heap may be a little premature. Seems there is more substance to this than we first thought. Well done lads (you know who you are).

And why is someone from welsh wales (as opposed to Wales in S.Yorks) moderating the Derbyshire section?

I have been contacted by the cavers who would like to remain anonymous or least until they have finished surveying and exploring all the passages. They said they would let you know in due course as they did not want to go to the trouble of installing a lid. Sounds very exciting especially the stream-way!!

Probably because Rhys is a Moderator for UKCaving.com not just one particular section...

I'll move this back to Derbyshire if it seems it isn't a wind up (and I hope it isn't because finding a new cave is brilliant news) - otherwise it's back to the Shit Heap.

New streamway!?! Awesome! Looking forward to having a look around. Let's hope the cave police don't get there first and lock it all off...

Ok Dan,

You seemed to be the most clued up about all this, how about you give us all a slightly more detailed description of the find without telling anyone of its location. Just some basic facts would satisfy everyones genuine interest for the time being. You've allegedly spoken to the guys so I'm sure you know more than there's a streamway, which is about as vague as you can get.

I've heard more details than that but am not going to post them as I need to be sure it's fact first.

Padlocks, chains and committees......that is the answer to not losing them in the first place. This someone needs to return it and tell the wayward individual to be more careful in the future

A sign warning people away, which purports to be from DCA, has appeared on a gate leading to the area in which this new system has been found.

Although it looks like an official sign and carries the DCA logo, it has definitely NOT been put there by DCA and none of DCA's officers was aware of its presence until today.  We are investigating to find out who put it there and whether it was done with any kind of official sanction from some other body, or whether it has been placed by the landowner.  (Or even by someone trying to be funny!)

Jenny Potts,
DCA Hon. Sec.

I thought it quite amusing if a little obscure.
Looking forward to hearing about the new discovery, and hopefully a trip as well
 
The sign on the gate is certainly not where the rumour of this big breakthrough is, although there has been a breakthrough (well known) where the sign has appeared.....

I'm sure the cave liberation front will come to our aid :)

But srsly.......

I to am excited about this new find, but i cant believe the bitching + moaning has started already lol  :ras:
 
Right.

The sign, 'apparently from DCA' has appeared on the approach into Eldon Hill Quarry.

Where Big Jim had the breakthrough during CCE.

What's so hard to fucking understand?

All the rumours and bullshit make it really frustrating.

If you've made a big breakthrough and don't want anyone to know about it then probably best 'as Lord WW would say' to keep ones's fucking trap shut.....


So. As someone else once said...

Put up or shut up.

Has there been a massive Derbyshire breakthrough or not?

Dan.

The poo pile is beckoning...

Those people not in the in-crowd get very annoyed and frustrated by threads like this and that's why it was dumped. The same was done for a vague rumour thread on the Ogof Fawr breakthrough two years ago.

if it's secret, keep it so. If not, tell all!
