    Anyone been to Notts Pot recently?

    Arrived to find a significant 'slump' into the entrance. It looked recent. Some seriously big boulders have moved, partially blocking the entrance. Loads more stuff is teetering waiting to fall and block it some more. Still possible to get in and out via the entrance series but an awkward little...

    Is any one else off work next week and looking for some Yorkshire caving? This is the perfect antidote to Christmas shopping.

    Water levels in Wretched Rabbit

    On Saturday, before Christmas, with heavy rain forecast I went down Lancaster Hole and through the high level route to Stop Pot. From here I wanted to go and see how much water was in the various exit routes. I went to Holbeck junction, crossed the stream and then turned back when I saw the...

    survival kit

    We seem to have strayed off topic a little, but I feel a discussion on emergency kit coming on. What do you take with you on a trip underground? Do you take the travel light and hope for the best approach, or perhaps take everything including the kitchen sink? Does carrying loads of gear mean...

    Anyone going caving tomorrow in/under Yorkshire?

    Does anyone fancy caving tomorrow? I'm based in Yorkshire and my caving buddies have all got better things to do (or more likely got proper jobs). Could easily meet in Inglesport. I have plenty of ropes and rigging gear, and know how to use it.

    Christmas Pot 20/12/07

    After about an hour of misscommunication by text message, Sue and I eventually met up in Clapham with a plan. Christmas Pot seemed appropriate for the time of year. It took us about an hour to reach the entrance shakehole, easily identified by its proximity to Christmas Cracker, the only fenced...

    Retrieved a rope from Simpson's

    I did Simpson's Pot last night (8th Nov) and retrieved someone's rope that had obviously got tangled up on a pull through trip. Please PM me if it yours and describe it and I will arrange to get it back to you.

    Mendip Cavers please help me!

    Next week I am having an enforced visit to Mendip (visiting parents) and I thought I could make it a whole lot more bearable if I could get out caving. Trouble is, I don't know any Mendip cavers (normally cave in Yorkshire). If anyone out there is caving on Tuesday 30th or Wednesday 31st next...
