    Clatterway Dangerously Unstable

    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.

    Glow Worms

    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.

    Water Tippler Design

    Found: One Krab in P8 below Idiot's Leap. I've got some like it already and think they're crap, so please somebody, either claim it if it's yours, or just guess the colour of the tape if anyone fancies lucky dip.
