Today we lost one of our Petzl Pixa 3s somewhere between Wilson's Cave Exit and the bottom of the lane. The light might still have a feint 'C.A' marker penned on the top. If anyone finds it please drop me a message. Thanks Jude

Has anyone been up there yesterday or today? Would be interested to know if there's any snow on the road and if you knew whether the farm still has power or not? Thanks Jude

Item of gear, describe it and I'll arrange its return to you. Jude

For anyone who had kids & is going to be in the North over the next 3 weekends: As many of you will be aware, Ingleborough Cave runs a stunning Christmas grotto for the 3 weekends leading up to Christmas. Its a fantastic adventure for kids, can't recommend it enough...

Had a nice little trip into Valley Entrance today. On our way in we were fortunate enough to see the flood pulse coming down the beck. We limited our activity to the flood escape traverse and playing on the pitch. On exiting I realised I'd lost my gold, right foot pantin. I suspect I'm...

Today I was a prize idiot  and managed to lock my only car key in the boot with the dogs at the end of our walk. After a fruitless hour and a half with a wire coat hanger bought along by a friend I had to smash a window to get in. I cleared up as much of the glass (parked on the Westhouse track...

Most frustatingly I have smashed the screen of my iPhone 4. Any advice on whether any of the cheaper non-Apple replacements are any good? (A friend spent ?160 replacing her screen a few months ago...ouch!). Any help much appreciated.

I had my yellow meander oversuit hung up in the changing room at Bull Pot Farm this weekend. It has now gone, think perhaps someone has picked it up by mistake. Its a size 1 and has lots of patches on it.....including a yellow heart shaped one on the arse (put on so I always knew it was mine!)...

I bruise like hell after each caving trip and I cave approx 3 times per week. I use a furry thats got double thickness on knees and thick kneepads. Is my technique really that poor or do some people just bruise more? Also I keep getting told that continuous bruising can lead to embollisms...is...
