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

They look kinda similar to dung roundheads but impossible to be tell without more info. A photo of the gills is very useful. If you are able to take one out in one piece you can do a spore print which also helps to narrow it down. The dark marks underneath are likely the spores and this tallies...

It reminds me of the big pitch in new rift. The bolt on RH wall could be the start of the traverse around to the dry hang. Point the photo is taken from would be on the rope tho rather than from the pitch head.

Hi Anna, I have a folder still with a load of UNCC stuff from a few years back. I have the following: Newsletters from 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, Trip register 2006-2007 I had a few years worth of trip reports from this era also but would need to search for them. There are a couple of digs (one...

My 2P, A few areas such as the 3 pitches between lower clough passage and nice way have more than one rope and the extra could be removed. The OUCC rope on these look fairly old. Not been for a while so don't know if rope is still on it, but the small pitch down spiral staircase which can be...

Found on the poetic justice pitch. Was taped. Let me know colour and i'll post it back to you.

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

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...

Pete hall of DUSA and a couple others had a poke around a few years ago which sounds like the trip u mention. We Dropped into a stream. We didn't bother digging upstream as most of the water seemed to sink 10m or so up valley. We removed cobbles from the downstream end and got about a body...

Just don't tell him you are going down mistral or anywhere dirty or he won't rent it to you. We tried to rent one and the idea that it may get dirty seemed to offend him even though we said it would come back clean! He wouldn't rent it to us. Best tell him you want it to stroll around the fells in.

The low bit of the bypass does get a bit damp and I don't think it has been tested in really wet conditions. The avens that tie in just upstream of the lowest section takes a small stream. I don't know how much comes down here when it is really wet. I would expect it to be passable but you could...

The pristine way is well worth a look if up there. Best taking a dynamic rope and being belayed to rig the traverse round the pitch head as bolts are a bit dodgy and have to be weighted. It is as the name suggests.

Sylvester?

Grand cascade is rigged. The rope on climb up cigalere inlet ( at junction with smashing inlet) is in a bad state. We cut and re rigged it as best we could so it is usable but not ideal and a bit short. Tuck shop pitch in bye George also rigged and is fine. Info correct as of weekend before last.

Think we prob had wrong cave, although we must have been very close and description roughly matched. You can drive a long way up the track to within a couple of hundred metres of it. You at bull pot over bank hol?
