Hi, would anyone be able to take three items (cumulatively about the size and weight of a 10 liter diving cylinder) from Cardiff to Chedder on Mendip please?  Could probably make the starting point SWCC if that would help. Thanks, Malcolm

Yesterday our party entered Pendulum Passage up the climb from the streamway, between the nave and top waterfall.  From here we followed Pendulum Passage 'downstream' towards the well known helictites.  An easy section of passage is followed by an upwards climb of 6m (marked c6 on the survey) up...

Hi, Would anyone be able to move a flat but delicate item (framed painting, longest dimension 2') from Sheffield to South Wales?  It's not urgent but if you can help please PM me. (I will put a message on this thread when transport has been sorted.) Thanks, L

Does anyone know anything about the anchors that give (psychological) protection on the OFD 3 traverses?  I know all the unofficial fixed aids (traverse ropes, ladder, etc) were removed from the route to OFD 3 some months ago; if we go in we'll need to rig our own.  Beyond the anchors for the...

Simple question; is it going to happen?  If so, when and where?

FYI, http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-42563741 This isn't the normal Clydach Gorge section which is closed, but the next section upwards from the Brynmawr roundabout... potentially more disruptive for travelling cavers. L

A sad outcome but a good effort from SMWCRT http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-41997892

https://www.onthemarket.com/details/4087980/ If so, does anyone have a spare ?600K lying around?

If you get no takers I'll give you ?10 for it. C4 VNG is also owned by a caver, any others? Moved other posts to separate thread. Please only reply with questions or offers related to a sale, it can be annoying to the original poster to have their advert buried in non-sale related posts.

Hi, has anyone lost anything in Lesser Garth Cave near Cardiff during the last few weeks? If so please pm me and I may be able to return it to you. Ta, L

What's the current off-the-shelf battery drill of choice, for general UK use (bolting and 'digging')?  Any favourites for a good compromise between weight, balance, grunt, size, ruggedness, longevity, packability, price, etc?  I'm guessing the Bosch GBH 24VRE's that were around when I last...

Closing date for 2017 dinner  :beer2: bookings is 7th April, less than a month away. CDG members don't delay, book your dinner today... Booking form  :read: can be found on the members side of the CDG Message Board.

Hi, There's a knackered electron ladder (wires broken) coiled up near the top of the short pitch down to the Promised Land in CaF.  On top of it is a little laminated notice saying something along the lines of "Please leave this equipment alone, October 2015". Because of that notice we...

Stuck in n Wales in pissing rain. Have done croesor-rhosydd and cwmorthin. Any other good similar open access trips in the same area? Thanks.

Hi, I now know two people who have recently bought these cameras (autumn and Christmas) and within weeks had to return them...  The camera seems fine (isn't dropped, flooded or abused) but suddenly stops responding to any input from any of the dials / knobs / buttons, although if you turn it off...

Found abandoned on the fifth pitch deviation a couple of weeks ago, far too good to be left there.  Very distinctive with marking tape. If its yours get in touch with description and I'll try and get it back to you.

Found two items of caver anatomical joint protection in Pwll Dwfn last weekend, they don't belong to anyone in our club. They look newish and as if someone would want them back.  If they are yours and you can give me a convincing description I'll do my best to get them back to you.  (Probably...

...suitable for a group of 12 hungry cavers on a Saturday night, on a line between roughly Ingleton and Settle.  Good food economically priced, but don't need posh. Thanks.
