    Newby Moss Pot

    UNCC, we went down here for a nosey years ago before the entrance slumped. From memory the outlet bedding would need a fair amount of work

    Disappeared post

    Hi, I posted about some gear I found in the lost and found forum and it seems to have disappeared. I posted on Friday and it definitely showed up but I can't find it there today. Don't know if there is an issue with the forum here or if other posts are affected. James

    Caving in Japan

    I have to go to Japan for 6 months and am aware of a few caving areas but am struggling to find information. I'll be in Nagoya and have seen there are a couple of caving areas about an hours drive away. Has anyone caved in Japan or know of any information or books that are out there? I've heard...

    are water levels unusually low?

    Thinking of heading to the dales this weekend if water levels are especially low. Have seen the cdg visbot and it looks like there was very little rain last week. Got a pumping project which is best done in low water conditions. Can anyone confirm or deny if it is unusually dry. Thanks

    Uamh Nan Claig-Ionn blocked

    The crawl just inside the entrance is currently completely blocked with silt. We didn't have the impliments to clear it with. Anyone planning a trip should take a drag tray and cow rake or similar tool.

    Offbeat trip ideas

    As the title suggests really. I have done most of the classics in the 3 peaks area and would like some suggestions of good trips outside the main areas/systems. I'm thinking of seldom visited hidden gems. Worked through quite a few of the NFTFH trips and have a good list of things to do from...

    Grisedale (nr Garsdale)

    Technically not Yorkshire but close enough. Was in Grisedale the other day and poking around some small caves up there. There seems to be a lot more there than I remembered being mentioned in NC3 (my copy of the book has unfortunately wandered off so I have no way to check it now) There was a...

    Why is everything in Devon locked?

    Apart from Pridhamsleigh are there any other caves in Devon that aren't locked? I'm currently working in the area and would like to get underground more but most of the caves are locked. What is the reason for locking most of them? I can see why Radcliff has a locked entrance but why does afton...

    Dubai caving

    Is there much near Dubai in the way of caving? I know there are some limestone mountains nearby but not sure what is there / accessibility etc. Does anyone know of any caving clubs over there? I have to work there for a month and so would be good if there is something to do on days off. cheers...

    transporting drills underground

    What do people use when transporting their drill underground? I'm wanting to take mine somewhere which involves taking it through a few ducks and the like. I want to make sure it is properly waterproof in transit. Also could do with wrapping it in something to cushion it a bit. Are those...

    Putting a thread on hard steel?

    Has anyone had any experience putting a thread onto hard steel? Is it as difficult to cut through as I think it will be? I've got the right size die but don't think it will cut very well into hard steel. Have got a lathe but it?s not set up to cut threads and would be a bitch to get sorted out...

    Tacklesack at top of 88ft pitch

    Not really lost, but there is a small tacklebag at the top of 88ft pitch in Easegill. Please could it be left where it is since I'll be going that way again next weekend. If it has already been removed then could you contact me, Thanks James
