Yep - tell us all when the new gate is on so we can change the padlock for a Debyshire key ASAP for you

To clarify.. the sign refered to in Jenny Ps post is at Eldon Hill Quarry where we recently found 130m of new cave. This is not the site of the rumoured breakthrough into a new system - I think Id know if someone else was diggin there.

I will be stayting away for now until we find out why the notices have gone up - we dont want to cause further probs bearing in mind the same farmer who grazes the quarry also is tennant/landowner around Eldon Hole so we dont want to shag access to that.

Anyone got any other ideas for digs? I need to dig! :(

Jim, do you know who actually owns Eldon quarry? We were up there with the police a couple of months back, but couldn't find any info on who owns the land.

Here's a thought!

Who are regular diggers / explorers who haven't said anything on this topic - yet?

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!

I dont see why this should be sent to the shit heap, I think the Derbyshire readers are quite intrigued,

I too think it is a wind up, but it gives us something to talk about in the pub,

There is no 'in crowd' in the Peak District, most diggers know what each other is doing, and get along fine,

The Credit Crunch Expedition was an open invite to anyone who could be arsed, and if anyone wants to join in on any dig in the Peaks, they only have to ask

Mmm thinks; :-\ Water Icicle  :-\

No disrespect Rhys, but maybe Sam T could decide whether to shit heap it or not, he is the local moderator,

Mark has a fair point Rhys - let's leave this one to Sam.

(I also wish Rhys no dispespect; after all he's prepared to spend time doing his best to keep standards up on this forum, for which he has my thanks.)

Right... As a 'local' I say, chuck the post in the bin and if it's actually true then the people in the know can tell us a little bit about it.

If not, then we won't be paying much attention to them regarding facts in the future. What a silly game this is....

I have been known to dig about in the Peak, and our dig is looking good with a breakthrough imminent, but not yet....

just got back to civilization.

I too am a local digger, but its nothing I know about.

What I do know is that new cave has been found, but the diggers do not want it publicised yet, which is fine. When they are ready, I'm sure they'll be the first to tell world about it via which ever channels they chose (here, hnh, descent etc).

I dont know who they are, or where it is, but well done.

We should all respect their wishes for now.

I'm going to lock the thread, rather than shit heap it so keep your guessing confined to the pub.

;)
