SCAMPS Sheffield Cave and Mine Pursuits Society? was back in`t 70`s

http://www7.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0505/feature4/multimedia.html Great write up of this amazing place.

There is a load of very shonky DMM  P resin bolts on both  of the traverses as we found out on Sunday,Take it easy on them...

It has a lid on and a mass of scaffolding to climb down I just can`t remeber the name.Oh and it is in the dales.

What do you guys think about using some shock cord to hold the croll instead of a "propper" webbing or other chest harness just to make things more simple,the only problem I can think of is if you were to be knocked out it won`t stop you going upside down.

Anyone know what clubs are based in the Dales or further north? as I wish to join one!

Went to Devis hole last night for the first time,the mine is great,impressive dry(but wet) stone wall tunnels, lots of mining artifacts,carts,buckets,greese pots,rail lines and some very well preserved clog prints between the rails from the people who pushed them,the natural system is amazing...

Can anyone direct me from the A1 or give me a grid ref for it as I cant seem to find it on any maps,Thanks :thumbsup:

Anyone know how long the cable is on it?

I live in Newcastle and am looking to join any local cavers,pm me for any action,cheers.

Is this club(sheffield cave and mine persutes society) still active in sheffield?
