Does anyone have one of these Landjoff PVC oversuits? http://landjoff.com/product/87/pvc-caving-coverall-long-life.html  If so, what are they like? Are they like Warmbac ones or more supple like the Meander ones were?

This looks like an interesting bit of kit from Singing Rock - the Double Stop Plus http://www.singingrock.com/double-stop-plus It looks like a Petzl Stop, but it also has an "anti-panic" feature and stops when the handle is squeezed in as well. It's as bit heavier than the Stop though- 421g v...

A feature about removing loose rocks around Smoo Cave was on the One Show tonight. It'son iPlayer from ~25 mins on: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b03hvj0y/The_One_Show_19_11_2013/

Not really an expedition, but this seemed the most suitable board to put this in... On the Wonders of Life show, presented by Brian Cox, he visited cenotes in Yucat?n and a Hydrogen Sulphide rich cave. Interestingly he showed that the cenotes were distributed around the edge of the Chicxulub...

Cheddar Gorge and caves are on TV in a show hosted by... Jedward! It's on the CBBC channel at 4.30pm on the 10th of Jan. http://www.thewestonmercury.co.uk/news/celebrity_duo_s_somerset_visit_set_to_air_1_1780553 This could be the most eagerly anticipated cave program in recent years  ;D

On Saturday morning on BBC2 Meet the Ancestors was about some Bronze Age remains and footprints that were found in dry passages by cave divers. They filmed a dig into the dry passages from a shakehole. Interesting stuff! It was a repeat of an old program from the late 90's. I'm not sure which...

On Horizon last night at the start, and somewhere in the middle, was a bit about Hazel Barton looking for antibiotic producing microbes in caves. Don't bother watching all the program though, it is pretty poor...

This Sugu air curing rubber http://sugru.com/about looks like it could potentially have useful applications in caving - perhaps it could be used to repair oversuits, or sealing siphon tubes or something.

A previously unknown piece of limestone, not noted on the geological maps, was examined by members of GSG recently. They walked, well... crawled, into 3 new caves with no digging, apart from one found by jumping in the middle of a shakehole, and the floor collapsing  :thumbsup:. Unfortunately I...

Does anyone know if there are lava tubes on Gran Canaria that I could easily visit when I'm there? Any info would be great, please!

The SCRO was featured on the BBC Scotland program, Landward, on Friday. It's on iplayer now from about 10:12 onwards. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b016ypnn/Landward_2011_2012_Episode_19/ There is a clip on the website too, if you are reading this clip after the iplayer link has expired...

Does anyone know where I can get hold of a colour copy of the Swildon's survey, like the one in the changing barn? I think that had some pics on it too. I have a copy of the survey I got with the book, but I'd like a fancy one to put on the wall!
