So the crab I left to fester in my tub for a couple of months generated some interesting sticky white residue. It's fine too just scrub it off with a brillo pad and just keep using it right?

Having just finally gotten around to getting a smartphone, I wondered idly if anyone had previously suggested a mobile friendly version of the site? Or is there one already and I'm just a muppet for not finding it?

Yo Kev left one of my Aluminium Oval Crabs on the last pitch out into the Swildons IV streamway from Priddy Green Sink yesterday... ...it is labeled up in yellow and black, and I'll buy you a beer if I get it back!! :beer2:  Hat

Hi One of the things that has suprised me is that there is no option given by the manufacturers for charging your Scurion battery pack with anything other than mains. Surely a bit of a handicap if on Expo? (Not that I have managed to get my thumb out of my arse and go on any - but if I did!)...

Hi Last seen while staying at the NPC during the week before Hidden Earth - Leatherman Blast, in case, tool itself marked with yellow reflective tape. Reward - proper bummed at this as was a gift from my father. Thanks Hat

So here you go, you're labelling your kit with a flashy labelling device that can print whatever information you want on said label. How much information do you put on it? How much do you want that crab back? An email address? your mobile number? Or do you put nuffink on it `cause cavers will...

Like it says Found: Troll Tape sling, left at the head of the 20 in Swildons on the 21st Feb. (Not retrieved until this weekend) Describe it to claim it  :)

Evenin' All Whilst pondering the recent Swildons movements etc I was reminded of the Woggle Press in EastWHERE?? not least because it was likely to see more traffic for a while. Can anyone recount the story of what happened, and more to the point, I am curious as to what the implications were...

Hi Not strictly caving, but I guess there are a few geologists on the forum, so the quick question is, can anyone recommend a rock hammer to purchase for someone who has just started to investigate geology and minerals? It _is_ Christmas soon after all  ;D Hat

Caves of South Wales says the following about Otter Hole: "the cave is probably the most beautifully decorated in the UK" A bold claim indeed... ...which rather begs the question: Is it??  :doubt:

Anyone know what sort of price FX2/3's are going for on fleabay or similar? Have one of each to flog with two good belt mount batteries and a charger...  :unsure:

Ladies and Germs I expect it to be utterly unlikely, but does anyone have any use for a couple of Petzl Glooms before I chuck em in the bin? Free to a good home. Free to a bad home come to think of it. Hat

Surplus to requirements: 1 x Large Pink Flowery Warmbac Furry 1 x Pair size 9 Long Wetsocks 1 x Pair Beaver (non velcro) Kneepads Anyone interested? Not put a price on just make me a (sensible) offer! Hat

Just had a Duracell leak in my 4 cell Mag. A bit annoying since the battery wasn't that old and should have been ok. (Was with other batteries of same age blah blah) Not looking to work out WHY (I don't care) but wondering what the best way of cleaning out the barrel is. There isn't much of the...

I know its a long shot but anyone caving daytime weds/thurs this week on Mendip???

As it says, Anyone fancy caving DAYTIME THURSDAY 31ST JULY on Mendip??

Spotted this caf? in Totnes....

Ladies and Gentlemen At considerable risk to life and limb, a clandestine source has managed to smuggle out a sneek peek at the new up and coming Cave Safe IV.... ...Obviously attempting to appeal to a broader European market, the sample clip below appears to be from a new section highlighting...

Its very last minute but does anyone fancy daytime trip on Mendip tomorrow? (Tuesday 6th May)

BET NOW!!!  :bounce: A couple of notes that I dare say I will have to add to when more people point out obvious stuff I have forgotten i) I don't include placing bolts for the purpose of this poll. I mean digging out tight bits etc. ii) I don't intend to discuss modifying a cave during an...
