Just a heads up on this. Try this for starters: Hope he gets to have a channel

I have recently been charged with the task of upgrading and overhauling a batch of my original WorkStar Oldham conversions. These lamps were an LED conversion of Oldham pit lamps to 2 single mode outputs of modest power, lamp using original cable into a sealed ABS case with aluminium belt...

Mentioned briefly in another thread, I think it appropriate to start a new one on this. I have only just learned from Welsh Mines Newsletter that its developer, Chris Ebbs, sadly died late last year. This explains why I have not heard from him for some time. Chris put a lot of effort into...

I dont know what others think, but I cannot help but feel that there is something wrong with a world where someone can afford to pay £20 million for a car. It is certainly a work of art, and certainly puts my humble Seraph to shame, but can any car be worth that much money? I do believe that...

This is the final report on the 14fthm project as unfortunately its game over. The project was started in 2015 after regaining the 14 fathom by installing fixed ladder up from adit level. Inbye the level was blocked by an enoumous fall, but it was possible to scramble up above the fall...

It has been drawn to my attention by a local farmer that there was a confrontation recently with persons dressed to go underground. This was between them and the farmer who had politely asked them not to park their van in a way that blocked his access to a track that crosses the river to land on...

I have just attempted this and failed.The early cable type is 2 core PVC covered similar to appliances and computer keyboards etc and is soldered directly to the PCB. They then passed the cable through the back and filled it in with what looks like Plastic Metal. I cleaned out the filler by...

New thread created from off-topic post in Peak District section relating to Snake Mine access So if you dont use a mobile and whatswhat you are out. At least nice to know.

As a director of Cave Access Ltd I have just received a complaint from Natural Recources Wales regarding an individual who was caught camping by the Hafna Mine. He told the NRW officer that he was doing work in the mine but nothing else. Please be aware that a permit from CAL relates only to...

Having recently suffered a back injury doing silly things, I have been restricting myself to easy underground walk ins and surface mooching. Yesterday I visited a site that I had discovered by chance on the OS map, it’s a small lead mine shown as “Lead Mine (Dis)” and “Chimney”. As it looked...

Will divers who have used Dinas recently,  please email me direct at roy@royfellows.uk.

Take at look at this! Loads of vehicles all at giveaway prices, no apparent reserve and all with the same description: ?In immaculate Condition through out Recently Serviced? There is a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow, an obvious restoration project from the photo, paint peeling , rust, etc, but...

Peter has sent me a Halcyon diving light, as Peter describes it,  "that were clearly very good bits of kit in their day, but the technology has moved on a bit since. The lights include a depth rated battery canister capable of holding (I think) 21 18650 cells and a nicely made, depth rated...

I would like to first explain exactly what is meant by efficiency and how it affects the average user of lighting equipment such as headtorches and caplamps, and also describe a new lamp project intended to replace 2 existing models. First, a bit of explanation. If you connect an LED directly...

It is reported to me by someone who went to the mid level at Kings & Queens to do the abseil down to Queens. On the 1st pitch it would appear that there has been a significant change to the bolts. 1. It looks like the rock around the deviation bolt must have failed as there is only a remnant...

On Saturday I visited Cambrian Slate Mine at Glyn Ceiriog. I was pleased to see that a lot of the stupid spay paint I cleaned off last time had not reappeared. I have yet to clean up the drainage adit, especially the daftness at the dam. I wanted an easy day as it was a big one today, I took...

Anyone else having problems with accessing the site using Chrome? I keep getting the Chrome warning "Connection is not private" etc and have to click the "Advanced" option to proceed (Unsafe). Total load of tosh but a damned nuisance. I am also getting a very slow response time. Issues started...

The purpose of this thread is to discuss, and hopefully, maybe remedy somehow, the activities of those who post what we call "clickbait" videos on Youtube. These may have titles such as "Exploring very dangerous mine", "We nearly got killed doing this", the list goes on. Obviously, this could...
