Almost brand new road bike rear wheel,  cassette and turbo trainer tyre. Near Buxton. P. M. If keen.

Just a big thanks to Ray from the Red Rose for lending me his helmet this weekend. I left my helmet and light at the Wheatsheaf but I was able to join my team to do a through trip from WW to Lancaster after Ray kindly lent me his lid. Restoring my faith in humanity. Cheers Ray.

Has anyone been down Waterways recently?  There are two big X's sprayed in the main chamber where it meets the entrance crawl and some arrows sprayed on the wall in the gallery,  opposite the start of the scaffolded climb into the lower cave. We tried cleaning the paint off and it does wipe away...

What was going on? I went bouldering at minus 10 wall and couldn't get in the layby for cars and a rescue vehicle. Was it a training exercise?

Eh up. Anyone have the number to ring so I can try and arrange a trip into eyam dale house cave? I tried ringing the care home using a number from their website but they haven't replied.  :( Cheers

Eh up. Was thinking of a trip down there with Lukecaff on Friday night but didnt want to turn up with no spits. Had it been p bolted or not? Thanks.

Got an oldish model custom duo which replaces the halogen in my petzl duo. Unfortunately it seems to have developed a flicker when in use. I originally thought it was old batteries that were causing it buti have changed those and its still doing it. I have rmoved it and cleaned all contacts and...

Just wondered which is more difficult.  Did crimbo today. Dropped waterfall then through via 4 ways, into crimbo and back out the climbing shaft after pulling waterfall rope back up.  Water was low so it went ok but fancy chamber of horrors next. Is it harder or about the same sort of level of...

Cant find any history on it. Its an amazing achievement and i would love to know a bit more about it.

David Constantine - Eldon Hole I found this whilst watching a friends video of one of our Friday night trips down Eldon. I quite like it.

I was just wondering if anyone can recommend me a decent manual/book/website on good rescue techniques. Primarily getting someone off the rope in either ascent or descent and also setting up rigs for hauling etc etc. I did my IRATA level 1 years ago and worked on the ropes for a few years but...

Went for a wander round near the quarries by Harpur Hill today to get some thinking time and came across a very promising looking line of shakeholes/holes along an obvious re-entrant. They are situated on the West side of Hillhead Quarry (near the Sheffield research labs on the Harpur Hill...

Just off to do meccano this weekend as an exchange between Hillocks and Knotlow. The end of meccano was rigged last time we did it (around April) but I know cave troll was questioning the safety of the in situ krabs, and there was talk of the rope and krabs being removed. Does anyone know if...

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VehiclesinCountryside I don't think there is a place for offroaders in the peak. Thats my view, whats yours. Fill in the survey please.

Heres a short video of our excellent trip to Derbyshire Hall in Nettle and some good footage of the Freeze Squeeze. Enjoy. Derbyshire Hall.wmv

After going down Titan on Sunday and then, whilst washing my harness at home on the evening, finding I can rip the webbing with my bare hands i think its time for a new one. Any suggestions?

Hi all. Just about to buy 200m of new rope off the drum and was going to get it cut into various lengths. We do a lot round the peak district and are managing a couple of raids to deepest darkest Yorkshire every so often. I was thinking to split it at: 1x70m 2x40m 1x30m 1x20m I also have 2x50m...

I seem to stumble across piles of these on many trips, whats the situation on this? And is it ok to take them home with me? I have found some whopping stals lying on the cave floor, seems a shame to leave them down there really
