I agree. They should be onshore. A bloke in a ratty transit with a spanner is a lot cheaper than a boat. Chris.

I am assuming you know the way! As all leaders ought to (or if not, it's an exploration trip where retracting steps is always an option) Chris.

Not being able to exit from Rhosydd is disappointing. You don't need to climb the quarry, and it's only 30 mins tops from the Croesor Rhosydd boundary to the exit from the 9 adit. Then 30 mins to raise the alarm from there. Stuff going wrong is fine - it happens to everybody. But being unable...

I would not be worrying about being shot! There are laws about that. Chris.

Anywhere on high ground in Swaledale or Wensleydale. Or Arkengarthdale. Chris.

Worked for me just fine. The geographical location of CATMHS seemed a bit awry though - I felt it ought to be in the Lake District somewhere. Chris.

Not looking hopeful... I might suggest to the interested parties that they wait until next year when we might be in Yorkshire, the Lakes, or North Wales, where there are options... Chris.

Thanks Chris. Interesting. Seems like there's potential. I wonder if the sump rises and falls with weather conditions, so a well timed visit might reveal something more. Chris.

Evening all, Is there anywhere in the Peak District (Castleton / Eyam ideally) that does lid / lamp hire? 2nd question - what easy caves are there? I might have a couple of novices who want a little taster. I can think of Carlswark and Giants for starters... Thanks, Chris.

I thought that too, but discounted it for lack of decorations. Chris.

It's dry enough up there at the moment I doubt if it's sumped at all, I expect it is fully dry. The waterfall at the entrance is minimal, and all that water soon disappears down Swinnergill. The limestone is definitely dipping to the north, so it would make sense for the water to come out in a...

The problem is that the calculations are overly simplistic. To be a fair comparison, you need to measure the capacity at the discharge current that you intend to use them at, and also check that the cutoff voltage is the same (maybe it's determined by the Fenix rather than the cell protection...

Water icicle close? Chris.

I happened to be wandering around Swinnergill and decided to go upstream as far as I could. I found myself in Swinnergill Kirk, which has a wide open cave entrance leading down-dip next to the waterfall. Because the water levels were very low, I went in as far as I dared using my 'phone torch...

As I recall the end of the main level stops at a rift. The rift goes up/down/left/right. It's tight and I have no idea how far it goes. Chris.

Yes, Ogof Nadolig. Well done Lara. Over to you. Chris.

Tricky Dicky is very close. Chris.

No.

Poachers (aka Ogof Hen Ffynhonnau) or Hesp Alyn, or both? You need ladders though for the entrance pitches. Chris.

Good thought, but no. Chris.
