This is probably mainly for the Eldon here, but other people with an above average understanding also welcome. I'd say I know Bagshawe main series fairly well 😅 and yet the hydrology continues to surprise me. I'm trying to understand how it floods: Water comes up the Glory Hole and into the...

What a great idea!

I found out a bit more in an old book, that show's it's definitely the place. This is clearly the outflow that's visible... No queues of invalids paying to bathe in it though.... Easton's Mine is also referenced briefly here. I think it's a short trial, because it was pronounced...

I believe it might be called Easton's Mine - as that's a known adit in Hugh's hole. I'm afraid I don't know more. Give it a few years though and I'll definitely have a go at finding time to poke my head in. I don't expect much, but you never know til you know.

Suicide cave has a classic through trip. Recommended. Also Jugholes lower series.

I'm trying to settle a debate with data, and science (rather than gut feel and anecdotes). Which of Mountain Biking and Caving is objectively more dangerous? This is clearly likely to be a biased forum, and I'm really keen for replies to be backed up with data rather than anecdotes. I realise...

thanks for the update

For my mother's 73rd birthday, she told me she wanted to do a harder trip. Offers of Giants Round trip were ruled out, and we settled on the idea of a trip to Bagshawe Cavern. Bagshawe Cavern is one of the longer caves in the Peak District, but a tourist trip there (as we have done *many*...

Which caving huts in Yorkshire have large rooms or extra floor space where one could run a workshop? (Other than YSS) Looking to run a first aid course and have overnight accommodation and catering facilities etc

In lockdown, me and my mum, made a silly caving video and entered it into the BMC's "Women in Adventure" Film Competition as a laugh, thinking nothing would happen. Instead, we won a "Judges Special Mention" award! The BMC said: View the film here We've been invited to speak and show our...

I'm headed to wapping on Sunday for a wander, and I wondered if anyone could advise me on the best parking options for midday matlock at the moment? I used to park in the p&d carpark just below guillvers world, but I believe "for some reason" they now have height restrictions, and I drive a...

Has anyone (*ahem* Eldon?) published any recent surveys of Bagshawe Cavern? I have the 1991 John Beck survey (which is a thing of beauty!), but my sense is that it is probably outdated in some less visited areas. Not showing the 2010 French Connection dig from what I can see. COPD basically...

Is there an active digging team at Carlswark flowerpot entrance? There's a new blue, knotted polyp rope Insitu there. Clearly that'd allow descent to a suitably skilled person, and potentially ascent if you're nimble(!??). If it's in regular use, please disregard this - continue as you were...
