Hello Does anyone know if a copy of the kinnaird commission report 1864 is available anywhere online? Thanks

Missing from Sheffield and believed to be in Gt Ayton area, mines rescue have been involved today. Fingers crossed he is found safe and well...

Happened across this album of 1940’s photos of Marble Steps Pot on eBay… Anyone know who R Patchett was? Or fancy buying it! The same seller has a fair few 1940’s cave pictures mostly Rift Pot/GG on BPC trips supposedly...

Does anyone happen to have a copy of the above book by David Heap they’d be willing to part with? It’s one of the classics I’ve never read!

The 24 hr card payment machine at the fuel station in Hawes is currently (Thursday) not processing card payments, so if you’re travelling to or from the dales it’s probably best not to rely on it for filling up……

Relatively interesting article relating to the Helwith bridge/Horton are about how the limestone deposition was influenced and creation of faults etc… Slightly nerdy perhaps and mostly beyond me but if you’re interested it here https://uwfs.org.uk/uwfs-horton-in-ribblesdale/

For those who fettle their own Poseidon Cyklon valves, you may like to know there is currently someone on eBay selling large amounts of service kits, o rings, valve seats etc. at reasonable prices. Might pay to stock up on such things if you happen to use them!

Before I go wild and splash out the last of the central heating oil fund on a mouthpiece does anyone happen to have a Cyklon mouthpiece going spare/cheap? As in the rubber bit you stick in your mouth? One of mine has a big tear in it which isn’t ideal.. Yours hopefully!

It’s always easy to moan, so for a change some good news! I foolishly managed to flood my FilthyEdna and Bif couldn’t have been more helpful with suggestions on how best to dry it and fix it! Really good support with it. So cheers Jon, and if anyone is after a new lamp I can highly recommend...

As a long time caver I?d love to encourage my daughter who is 9 to come along on some easy trips! An outing yesterday had mixed results but was mostly positive! Main worries seemed to be cold feet and self confidence! I guess my question is, what are parents top tips for firing and...

Streamlining the amount of stuff I?ve accumulated! 1 x Poseidon Cyklon 300 with a metal 2nd stage and a contents guage on a new short hose. Good condition, probs due a service etc. ?125 2 x BigBlue AL1200NP dive torches. These are the best torches I?ve ever used! Used about 4 times! RRP of...

Hello! My friend is running the Manchester Marathon on Sunday for a charity which is very close to both of us. Her little boy was born with a congenital heart defect (I was born with a hole in mine - not as some exes would claim, and entire absense of one..) If anyone could spare even a couple...

As my Scurion has permanently departed to pastures new.. I have a box of spare O rings, a 4 cell spare battery, some odd screws, replacement lens and Scurion charger etc. Not sure how much life the battery will give as have never used it but it does hold charge and work. If someone can make use...

Evening, Whilst picking a route through the stake pot Boulder choke area at stream level today, signs of what appeared to be recent collapse were noted. Whilst things appeared to have settled down, clearly it?s wise to be cautious as despite this being a well travelled area it has obviously...

I have a feeling this has been asked before but.. I?m tending slightly towards the idea of layered up clothing rather than a furry as a compromise and for a little more tailored climate control on longer trips. What are folks using as trousers? Sallopete wise a lot of stuff seems rather bulky...

After accidentally chucking away my Scurion is anyone flogging a similar style replacement? Ta Jamie

White Petzl helmet with a battered Scurion and some Princeton tech dive torches put down whilst getting changed yesterday and now sadly vanished? Not a popular place for cavers so I suspect it?s gone for good but if anyone comes across one for sale?

As many will by now know, sadly Rob Dalby of the CDG and former YSS member has died following a diving accident off the Scilly Isles. He has not yet been located but is not alive. Rob and myself along with Colin Pryer joined the CDG together almost 20 years ago and he was an active caver and...

Morning, Does anyone know if a Topo survey exists for Sleets Gill? Alternatively during flood conditions when the main cave is filled, does anyone have any idea of the distance from the water surface at the entrance to reach a point which would create airspace throughout the main passage. Eg...

https://youtu.be/Swrr1aG8XZo Anyone recognise anyone or the location? I thought perhaps Jim Eyre on the phone? I never met him but the nose seems familiar?
