Split and moved from message requesting where Carbide could be bought in "For Sale / Wanted" section. Don't use it down a cave! It's banned in most anyway and puts soot on all the flowstone.

All very lightly used:- The Petzl devices have only been used down St Bertram's Cave, Robin's Shaft Mine, Knotlow Mine, Merlins Mine, Carlswark Cavern and Lathkill Head Upper entrance. Once each. (Oh, and a bit of surface training.) 1 x 25ft (8m) ladder with 4mm wire, swaged ends with c-links...

I've been used to using Compass for Windows for Windows for a good few years, but thought I'd better install Survex to try out as loadsa peeps are using it. I have a few question:- I installed the latest version of Survex for Windoze (1.2.8, I think), and:- 1. If I click on svxedit, Windoze...

Hi all. i've got some interesting short range (< 1.5km) water tracing jobs to do in the Manifold valley. I've got enough Fluorescein to do a couple, but was wondering if anyone had got any Fluorescein or Rhodamine B going spare that they could get to me. (Burton-on-Trent or Wetton.) I can get...

Just so everyone on here interested knows, both of these caves now need a 'Derbyshire Key' . Either an adjustable spanner or a 17mm spanner like most caves in the Manifold area. An article will appear in the next DCA N/L hopefully about this access work. Access is unchanged (ie:- just go down)...
