    Lost Stop

    Hi - has anyone found a Petzl Stop near Bullpot Farm? Possibly in the wash-up stream area. It went missing at the end of August so it could be anywhere by now!

    Bolts in Goyden

    Morning! So here's a simple question with no underlying agenda or opinion... Who has put all the bolts in Goyden? The 'new' or at least newer ones on both sides of the first window and the passage before it; the ones at the chain climb up towards Church Pot. Cheers George

    Lovely warm gloves in Montague East

    Yesterday I found a pair of orange gloves near Montague East passage. They look brand new and we're placed neatly by the trail as if someone had just removed them to take a picture. I had forgotten mine so I slipped them on to find they were lined with what can only assume was real mink fur...

    Buggery

    So I found this in a local cave. It looks like these guys have crawled over some gour pools and expired - leaving their bodies to be calcified. So can anyone shed some more light on them? Are they Rove Beetles? Do they metamorphose, leaving a shell behind to fossilise? Or do they just sit there...

    Oxlow handline

    Hi, I just wanted to check with the locals if there is a handline in place above the forth pitch in Oxlow? I think the passage is called West Swirl Passage. We're planning a trip there on Sunday. Thanks in advance. George

    Tonight we went to have a look down Limley Pot only to find a large boulder jammed near the top. It was about 2 feet x 1 foot x half a foot and pretty much blocking the way. it did look as though it had been thrown in there. We tried to get it out and I managed to get a sling around it (which...

    Old caving helmets - ?10!

    I have 7 old 'Camp Rock Star' helmets to dispose of. They were once white; they have holes drilled in the back with a buckle through to hold a battery and they have a lamp mount bracket on the front. There's not a lot else I can say about them. A charitable donation of ?10 for the lot would...
