Edit, looked at photo I took, more orange and grey!

Small blue and yellow caving bag found in Bagshawe cavern car park today, put in Coe on table. Last visitor in book was NUCC yesterday. Few lamps and chocolate in.

Useful to hear everyone?s opinions and experiences here. As the last post said, everything is moving so fast, what was acceptable last week isn?t ok now (unless you fancy a day out in Matlock it seems!). In terms of virus spreading a few cars driving 20 minutes to Hillocks Lane is low risk, but...

Given the media stories today about the MRO teams of Snowdonia asking people to stay away, as the rescue teams quite reasonably don?t want to be getting callouts at the moment, should we still be caving? Interested to hear the thoughts of members of CROs, as social distancing will be quite hard...

Cheers Pete like I said should have known. Changed since I last saw it!

Quick question I should probably know but a friend has just sent this pic and asked me what mine/cave this is? Hope side of Castleton apparently...

Haha read the thread name and assumed there was some study being done on Derbyshire cavers with dodgy backs  :lol: I was about to sign up! I look forward to some more excellent reading 👍

Just wondering if anybody may have picked up a blue edelrid with a pixa fixed to it? Left on Thursday either by jugholes cave or car park last week. Thanks in anticipation....

Cheers Paul, we?ll assume it?s closed and see what happens. Andrew, the Priddy Green entrance is definitely on my to do list, but not the right group this weekend I?m afraid. Good tip though cheers, I?ll be back down again soon. Then again, might not make it out of the Peak if It keeps snowing...

Cheers John, Badger, Paul - appreciated. 3 of us were bailing mud sump for nearly an hour on our first trip in there a few years ago. Gave up with no significant water level change! The newbies are not new to caving, just to Mendips so brought them along to help with the bailing.... We'll have...

Hello all, bringing some Mendips newbies to the Wessex this weekend and planning the short round trip. Would be grateful for any news/tips, ie is mud sump passable (wasn?t last time) etc. Thanks very much, hope to bump into a few club members, it?s always a pleasure  :)

Really good info, thank you everyone. The kids are about 8 and 5 so will be happy with whatever I guess. Except drowning, they won?t enjoy that much, but he?s seen the forecast so he?ll head to one of the dry ones! Thanks again. Adam

Thanks all for your replies, very helpful. I?ll have to arrange a trip soon to have a look at these caves as well. Keep posting if you think of any more 😁

Hi folks I?m asking for a friend who?s not on UKC.... He?s taking his family down to Brecon this weekend and would like to take them caving. He is a level 2 leader in the peak and the kids have done jugholes, giants and plenty more, so the cave doesn?t need to be too simple, but really needs to...

Thanks everyone, really helpful. I'll see if I can get some sense out of those bats while I'm there...
