Ian, Chris Lemons is the bloke from the film The Last Breath isn’t he? A very nail biting watch! I’ll certainly give this a listen as I was fascinated by the film. Andy

Looking for an oversuit for my 13yo lad. He is around 165cm tall. Thanks!

Sam, I?ve sent you a message. Andy

Henslers Pot now de-rigged in anticipation of wetter weather later in the week.

Thanks, i?ll have to get my finger out now that I have said this. I will not say how long I have had the parts ready to assemble sat in the garage!

If this is what I think it is about, I already have a new disc of plywood cut, and the cross timbers ready to fix. I noticed the lid had worn too small on my last visit! Andy

Well we had a look from the Ireby side last year and backed off, as it looks worse from that side as it is tight straight away and at that time we had no idea how much passage would be like that beyond where we could see. Once we arrived at the back of this same location this time from Rift...

There is a short awkward climb at the start into Platt?s bypass, the grim duck is right at the end, after Temple of Doom (which is not as doomious as its name suggests) and both the calcite squeeze (tight) and the tight squeeze which is tighter and more awkward. You have already turned left into...

Haha, you probably said that last time. Thankfully you had forgotten enough about the previous trip (all of it, amounting to a full denial of ever having been there before) to allow me to persuade you to return. Same time next year . . .

1m rise in 12 hours at Locks Wier. I drove up to Gisburn Forest this morning for a bike ride at 8.30 and the river was lower than it was on Tuesday night at Long Preston. When I came back at 11.00 it was bursting its banks. Surface streams running across fields everywhere and the roads had deep...

There are some good suggestions here so thank you to all for that. A closer look at the survey suggests there is more to do in the Berger itself than just visiting the bottom. Turning right just before the canal appears to be a whole other world of passage? Passing through Galerie du Sable...

Thanks David, I will have a look! Looks good in your photos. Regards Andy

Hello, As an offshoot to Ian?s thread, I too am grateful to learn any hints to make a trip run smoothly but I would also like to hear of any nice (nasty) trips you would recommend local to the Berger. I?ve googled ?Pas pour les ?mes sensibles? and drawn a blank. . . Andy

Thanks for the replies, very helpful. Regards Andy

Hi, I have a trip down The Cupcake planned in a few weeks and am wondering how to tackle the up pitches. Limbo pitch seems straightforward to bypass anyway, but can anyone tell me how Hubert Carstairs? go? Are there insitu ropes or are the pitches free-climbable? Thanks Andy
