    Croesor Rhosydd - Boat is stuck

    An FYI that we attempted a through trip through Croesor but the boat for one of the pools is very stuck on the Rhosydd side. We debated going for a swim but decided to go back out Croesor. Still a great trip in a very picturesque mine.

    Found - Camera in Agen Allwedd

    We found a camera tucked away on a shelf in Biza passage. I think we left it at Whitewalls so if you are not local and want to claim it I think get in contact with the hut warden John.

    LOST: Karabiner and sling in Swinsto

    TLDR: One carabiner with "glow in the dark ghosts" duct tape on it and one red/white sling attached to said carabiner were left behind attached to the pull through bolts half way down the big split pitch in Swinsto. I would be grateful for a return. I am mostly at the NPC but will pick up...

    Therion - create centerline svg with stations as objects?

    Hello, Currently redrawing old surveys in Therion. The workflow is: 1) Export centerline to svg 2) Open in inkscape using therion plugins 3) Using the svg as a trace mark all the stations as station objects 4) Draw the passage around the centerline 5) Save as th2 Step 3 seems unnecessary. Is...

    Lost: Light in Psycho Crawl

    I had two unbranded lights attached to my helmet in Psycho crawl in Penyghent. Both fell off in the struggle but I only noticed one and so one was left behind. I imagine it is somewhere in the 'waterlogged struggle' (as described by NFTFH). They were cheap things from China but I would be quite...

    Dyneema shock/safety cords

    I've seen some SRT set ups using a dyneema shock/safety cord to attach the hand jammer rather than the dynamic rope. This seems like quite a tempting idea to reduce bulk but is it safe? The name 'shock' cord does imply that perhaps some stretch is good, but how much shock absorbing can ~1m of...

    What is this thing? A speleothem(?) found in King Pot..

    Hey everyone, On a recent trip to King Pot whilst waiting for some rigging my friend dived up a disgusting looking inlet and found a small, closed fist size formation on the floor. Pictures here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/wW4IFn8FyOGj679j1 The material was solid but the details small enough...

    Lost: CT foot jammer

    I lost a CT foot jammer. It is probably in the  Bull Pot farm car park somewhere but might be between BPF and Lanc. It is orange and has a distinctive rub point on the ankle strap where it is almost half split. Thanks for any help. Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using Tapatalk

    Vesper Pot Rigging

    I've been to Vesper Pot a couple of times now and the rigging is always entertaining. There are a couple of sections that I find a bit odd so I want to hear what other people do. 1) Top of the second pitch (can't quite remember if that's right). You have to traverse a couple of meters above...

    Marble Steps in Flood

    I was in Marble Steps last weekend on a moderately damp day. Went to the bottom via the Intestines (lovely bit of cave!). The CNCC rigging guide has some very dire warnings about the flood risk in this lower section but it seemed very dry despite the moist weather. The second pitch after Stink...

    Lost: Orange dry bag in Gaping Gill

    I think I left my orange dry bag (small one) lying on the floor in the GG main chamber. If anyone happens to find it I'd be most appreciative if it could be left at the NPC or similair. (Or make its way to London  :) ) Thanks, Rhys
