And now we have proof - it really does shine out of his a*se.

If you had Lidar Goggles this is how Primrose Mine looks from High Tor. It's a necky climb down from the opencut but if you go 75m north it's a bit easier to get down.

Today, Wednesday 4th December 2024, we said our final goodbyes to Paul Chandler. Paul was a founder member of the Masson Caving Group and the Goodluck Mine Preservation Club.

Nothing to do with blasting in Ball Eye quarry then? Clatterway Levels are only 150m away from the edge of the quarry and there's a drilling rig up the top end. Very rough plot of Clatterway Levels, top entrance passages not shown.

There's an annual glow worm survey carried out in the Peak and surrounding areas. Guaranteed to see some if you volunteer, the only down-side is that they start glowing at pub o'clock.

MicroTraxion and other bits found near Hell's Well. Left in- situ but clipped onto first p-bolt on left, so it's out of sight. I can recover this on Thursday and deposit at the Mining Museum if required.

Sign spotted on Salters Lane...

It's in Android settings > App manager. Close the app, go to phone/tablet settings then App Manager. Click Topodroid and there should be a Delete Cache option.

The symptoms you describe were reported to Marco a couple of years ago, it's all down to how Android caches data files. The only work-around is to delete the app cache before starting a new survey.

Yarp, Eldon.

Wasn't too bothered about resurrecting the Wezzit but I found that the EA have got some new Lidar data available, Eyam to Castleton now covered at 1m resolution.  GIS users should look at the National Lidar Programme on the Defra download page, Scottish Maps users will probably have to wait...

I've always liked the Derbyshire Key system but having watched a couple of videos on YouTube perhaps it's time to have a re-think.  Darwin Award candidates...  Quote from one video: "Caving supplies was closed so we got some rope from B&Q"  Vid stills (c) YouTube.

Hint taken ... View of Potosi Mine area generated from LiDAR model. Looking NE, 45 degrees downward.  Yellow marker pins are Ible Adit (bottom of image) and Chance Level.

He has a profile on this forum, have you tried that?

A detailed search of the DEFRA website shows where the gaps are, I think the Castleton catchment will have to wait until the end of the year. 1m DTM coverage map below:
