I found two items in Longwood yesterday, if you think they might be yours let me know what they are and we can sort out getting them back to you :)

To the person, possibly called Al, who phoned Bullpot Farm the other day looking for your trousers: they've been located. I'll leave them in the lost property box, or if you see this and respond by about 6 p.m. today (Friday) I could bring them with me and arrange caverpost if that's handier.

Does anyone have a copy of the Joint Service Caving Handbook, JSP 432, that they would like rid of, or anyone got any idea where I might find one? It's for a present, but it's out of print, and good old Google is coming up with nothing. Condition not hugely important (ideally in one piece...

I have found your large yellow & blue tackle bag, please PM to let me know the best way to get it back to you.

Looking to light up your favourite caver's life this Christmas? I have a brand new Flexitwin V5 from Bisun for sale - never been out of its packaging. This is an insert for Petzl Duo headlamps giving a max output of 500 lumens. Full specs here: http://www.bisun.co.uk/flexitwinv5_main.html...

It was decided that this year, the CUCC expo would establish an underground camp in Kraken Chamber, Tunnocksschacht, as pushing trips to the lower leads were getting to be around 18 hours, which was bordering on the unsafe in terms of fatigue in combination with navigating the nylon highway...

Dihedral, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Rope Anyone who has done a vertical cave with me knows that I don't mind heights at all. Abseil off a tall building? Yes please. Rope bridge across raging seas far below? Bring it on. Depths, on the other hand, are a whole 'nother story...

Another gloriously sunny day in Yorkshire, the sort that makes you feel a little bit guilty for going underground. Our new Kiwi recruits almost believed us when we said we always had this kind of weather up here, but we were rumbled when Rose revealed she'd previously been climbing nearby and it...

With apologies to Samuel Taylor Coleridge At Bullpot Farm, the Cambridge clan A trip to Ireby Fell decreed: Where cavers five abseiled and ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sumpy sea. So down five pitches through the ground With rope and harness girdled round; And there...

Video documentation of the trip: ! No longer available This lesser-frequented gem of the Yorkshire underworld hides in plain sight just a croll's throw from the front door of Bullpot Farm. I had heard tales whispered around the fire of the challenges it presented ? someone got halfway only to...

24.01.2015 Present: E., M. Written by E. Everyone has heard about the great caves in Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, but the granite caves in the Mournes seem to be a little less well known. I couldn't find a huge amount of information online, but always keen to try something new and with M. also...

A couple of months late, but it's about time I got around to writing a few trips up. 01.01.2015 Present: M., D., E., S., assorted others. Written by E. Following a late night (morning?) of fireworks, dancing and ?cocktails? (the contents of which it's probably best not to try to guess), most...
