Went CHECC venue hunting the other day and found a couple that seem to tick all the boxes. Thornbridge Outdoors Center looks pretty good, they are council-run and have hired out their site for large outdoor festivals in the past with over 500 attendees. Speaking to one of the site managers they...

I said it was for research when I requested it and they just granted access. I was a PhD student at the time so they probably assumed it was for my that and not a random personal project haha

Made a few changes, mainly to the labels. Thanks ChrisJC for pointing out some corrections, the mine is indeed only leased and access controlled by go below. Also fixed the spelling of Scaffold :)

Cwmorthin slate mine was active between 1810 -1970... (if you're interested in the history go visit its Wikipedia page or http://www.cwmorthin.org/.) The mine is now used for recreational purposes and is owned by Go Below Underground Adventures Ltd, who are kind enough to offer free access to...

Modelling cave flood events in Yorkshishire *disclaimer* This idea is just for fun/interest, I don't recommend using any outcome of this project to decide whether it's safe to go caving. I've recently been wondering whether it would be possible to create some kind of empirical model relating...

These have been living under my bed for a few years figured I should probably get rid of them and couldn't bring myself to put them in the bin. If anyone wants 15 unused of PDA cases let me know. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEq199Hg_aH/

The 2018?s CHECC Forum was hosted at Hope Valley College in the peak district between the 23rd ? 25th of November 2018. The committee was slightly apprehensive about holding one of the wildest caving events of the year in a high school, especially given the headmaster would be present for the...

After rebuilding the CHECC website I?m considering a new project. My idea was to build on Rostams "how to run a student caving club? manual by collecting and reading handover documents from various student caving clubs and then writing a student caving wiki within the CHECC website for student...

Hey Guys, CHECC is considering buying two speakers for future events, I am told they are good quality ones (the same ones used by the BCA at their AGM a few months ago). http://www.vector-audio.co.uk/shop/category/speakers/detail/ws15 The only problem for us would be collection and long term...

Hi, CHECC (council of higher education caving clubs) are looking for a venue to host their 2017 forum in the peak district but are struggling to find a venue. Does anyone know of a venue that could work? The ideal venue would fulfil the following criteria: - Situated in/near the peak...

Hi, We're planning a two week trip to Lake Como (Italy) and Ticino (Switzerland) . Looking for canyons that are relatively technically easy (grade v3a3 or lower). We've bought Simon flowers book which is great for canyons that are a bit harder but are not suited to everyone on the trip...

Left my simple at the bottom of Nick pot by accident.

For those of you who've ever had to call off a caving trip because you couldn't find the entrance to a cave, this might be worth a try if you don't mind carrying your phone on a caving trip. Most of the cave entrance locations in the dales are available from: http://cavemaps.org/data.htm   ...

Currently can only get topodroid to plot profile elevations, which isn't really useful when drawing up the cave in the cave. Tried looking about in the settings but can't seem to find anything that'll change it  :confused:

Yet another addition to the ULSA surveying tutorials. This "how to use tunnel" (Cave drawing software): https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0zxkZdXB7vUanJyaktyaGNaZnM  Enjoy  :) I've probably made some mistakes/missed out some important details so some feedback would be really helpful. Cheers
