    Tregynon, Powys

    I have it shown on OS maps from 1975 and 1988 as 'Mine Shaft (disused)' but no earlier ones. It isn't shown on current OS Mastermap despite being on the 'current' 1K25 CPAT name it as 'Lower Eachwen Shaft' but this is just a convenience as their location info is based on the OS 1988 1K25 on...

    Any one with ?150 000?

    Re-listed again or just the older listing? It's been advertised a few times in the past few years. First time it was under 100K then bumped to the 150 as shown currently.

    Maenofferen Track Update

    Given the amount of work Greaves have done on the track in the past couple of years after washouts I'm surprised they would dig it up ' to deter people'. That said, looking at the incline and number of photos online there seems to be a large increase in people 'accidentally' going away from the...

    Fenix HM 65R or Rude Nora???

    I use one of Roy's lamps, my youngest lad uses a Rude Nora - both are excellent. Solid construction and local customer support from people who care. I've no experience of Fenix headlamps nor have I ever wanted to gain any as all of my experience with Fenix to date has been very negative -...

    Best Lamps/Lights for Photography.

    Rather than photographing the screen you could do a screengrab (some media software has the functionality built in or just pause the video and use the printscreen button) - you'll get much better quality without the banding you have created in your example. I often see people recommend Fenix...

    Which helmet-mounted video camera

    Never used the Contour but does the roam use the same helmet mount? If so, and 1080 good enough then it would seem suitable. The Insta360 is bulkier and more awkward to mount. The image stabilistion is internal software processing and nothing to do with cutting an area of the 360 footage. The...

    Very silly pics

    There is a menu on the right side of that page (as shown on whichever user agent my broweser might currently say it is anyway) ...in that meu is a link to a text version of the file. Right click and 'save link as' will download the file as text rather than html

    Olympus TG cameras; couple of questions for owners

    Dried rice will do if you don't have a handy source of desicant gel. Definitely knackered...perhaps ...perhaps not. Repair - pretty much forget it. The cost of taking it apart to consider whether it is repairable would be higher than any real value...a shame but that's the way it goes these...

    oldmaps site to shut.

    "Over the past 12 months, it became apparent that some of our professional services users were not clear about these restrictions and were choosing to use Old Maps as a reference tool as an alternative to accessing and purchasing historical maps under commercial license terms. As a result we...

    Very silly pics

    So they are JLR vehicles....until they started making the energy sapping ones of the past few years they'd have been fine on veggie oil. My disco used to leave a faint aroma of fish & chips as I drove it round the Peak District ;) Going away from that...how about showing their environmental...

    CNCC Cave Photography Workshop 2021

    Many thanks to CNCC for organising the cave photography course with Mark. The venue was perfect - light, airy, well equipped and the variety of nearby caves which would have allowed for all levels of cavers. In this instance non-technical caves as there was a non-caver (there are no photos of...

    Nant (Porth Ysgo) Mine Rescue

    Those are not the only adits and, so far, bats (a handful of Lesser Horseshoe) are only in an unconnected area.

    Nant (Porth Ysgo) Mine Rescue

    The info says that there was a lower access  which means that the fall must have been from the hanging adit. If that was blocked at the outside there would still be easy access to the rest of it (and that adit is of no particular interest to anyone and isn't used by bats) The next most...

    Nant (Porth Ysgo) Mine Rescue

    The position of the stretcher inside would suggest they'd fallen from the hanging part of the fourth adit (it runs in to a blind but has a short, slightly downward sloping section to the left which is usually damp. This opens to the main stoped area with a 20foot or so drop. If walking fairly...
