    A decade later (!): Goatchurch The Movie

    Those trips were about as much fun as it is possible to have in Goatchurch! Bruce was an excellent person who passed away far too young.

    Valley Entrance Pitch

    I was there a few weeks ago and there were a couple of ropes on it. I?d still go in beforehand and put my own on though. It would be an embarrassing place to get stuck.  :-[

    GG rescue

    Report says that the shaft was found rigged, so it doesn't look like they pulled the rope down. They must've climbed away from their ropes without a plan B if they couldn't climb out.

    Aquanaut - forthcoming Rick Stanton autobiography

    An absolutely superb read. Get hold of a copy as soon as you can.

    Ultimate Snack

    A Pork Pie or two does the trick for me and they tend to be pretty resilient to rough treatment. Flapjack gets an honorable mention. I did once take some leftovers from a roast dinner on an Upper Flood Swallet digging trip. The plastic container ended up cracked, leaving me with barely...

    Red Rose - Bull Pot Farm

    Hello all, My mate and I have just arrived at the above for a 3 night stay as guests, but we can?t work out how we access the showers and changing rooms. Would any members be able to pm me the info? Hi everyone scoured my confirmation email but the only code we?ve been given only works on the...

    Mon 10th/Tues 11th May Caving

    I?m thinking I might book a last minute Airbnb and head up North for a couple of days caving next Monday and Tuesday. Anyone at a loose end and fancy some underground company?

    Caving Hut Guests in Early June?

    A pal and I are hoping to head up to Yorkshire for a few midweek days in early June. Does anyone know which clubs might allow guest groups at that stage?

    Longwood Tomfoolery...

    Nah, shouldn?t have thought so. Just one to be aware of so as to not set an overly long Callout time I think.

    Longwood Tomfoolery...

    Bit of an odd one this. I went down Longwood this evening and someone attempted to ?lock? me in. They?d jammed a piece of timber between the metal lid and concrete lip of the blockhouse in such a way as to effectively prevent opening from within. Fortunately I was able to force exit, but...

    Northern Caves 1 - Wharfedale and the North-East

    Just out of curiosity, anyone know why this volume is rare as Hen's Teeth? Were not all the volumes published in the same quantities for some reason?

    Longwood Swallet Access Issues

    Bugger, I was looking at a visit in the near future. Out of curiosity, do we know what the nature of the damage is? Is it the lid or the actual lock that?s been tampered with?

    Hunter?s Hole

    Evening all. I was thinking of visiting Hunter?s Hole in the near future. Normally I?d pop by The Hunter?s Lodge Inn first and ask permission, but with the pub shut, does anyone know if this is still the procedure? Thanks in advance!

    WIN A BUNDLE OF CAVING EQUIPMENT!!

    AWOL Aven in Upper Flood. So named because, on the day it was bolt climbed to find a small extension, I had gone AWOL from the RAF. I?d told the Ops room at work that I had friends from Ireland coming over to visit (specifically to visit Upper Flood and help with the climb) that weekend and...
