They look like they work well on very flat ground, eg tarmac. But probably would not work well on rough ground like a fell

used concrete screws to haul a big rock out. Very very easy to do and felt safer than a sling wrapped round it

Looking for aspiring cave di(v)ers as drainage is an issue The loose walls have been reinforced with metal racks (skipdived) and homemade laminated timber (cable ties and fence slats) Progress continues through wet digging.

Currently digging (surface support)

Pearly gates?

Apparently network rail in Sheffield sponsor digs for free 😂

Use a screw gate crab not a maillon!! Much better and more versatile IMO

Size 5 wellies instead of size 9 wellies

After a slight hiatus we are back in digging. Fortunately our absence hasn't led to much collapse and some of the fill from the bottom has gone. Probably due to the water flows through it. we have started using bags to store up the fill from the bottom. The pushing front looking onwards where...

Is this why there's so many expeditions to southeast Asia ...................

My copy had the flap almost loose with very minimal glue holding it on. A very very good issue of descent with an incredible amount of UK digging and exploration being covered 👍

Big CHECC is NOT at the SWCC It is at dolygaer outdoors activities center nr merthyr James CHECC secretary

Maybe it just needs some accessibility and inclusivity capping?

The record I've seen is 5 in it. But it was floating quite low at that point.

Over time using natural anchors does more damage to the cave than using bolts. There is a column in swildons with a groove an inch deep where people have tied back ups around it.

Looks like he's got a bright future ahead of him !!

The ladder dig in GB would be a prime candidate! A pull-up would be much much nicer than the philistine approach of using a ladder as an etrier up a chain.

Is it in the white river series? Heaven perhaps?

They looked like a two sided version of this. But with a large maillon instead of a ring. And with maillons between the hangers and the chain. But this style of chain

Hopefully the new pull through "chains" will be similar to the system already in place in the ventilator pitches in peak cavern. These work very very well for pulling through
