Reservoir hole

I've got the exact same shot and had it lined up for wezzit! Happy for someone else to jump in

Rowten Cave?

So, somewhere in the Dales, explored just post WW2, either now inaccessible or very much off trade routes, or destroyed ... Oxford Pot??

Yes, top one I think. Think there were planks across the pool when we had a look.

Wayne was always interested in that whole area. We did have a look at that interesting hole in the hanging valley. From my vague memory it was interesting but very muddy, with some signs that others might have been working there.

Huge tracts of CROW land have exclusions for dogs - unless on public footpaths. Virtually all of the Dark Peak.

Looks interesting and I've enjoyed playing with the what can I rig tool! Re. Passing knots - plenty of times you can (with planning, rather than finding yourself accidentally 10m off the deck) use the additional rope for the traverse so no knot pass is needed. Max length of rope between two...

Re: Radon: Obviously assessing exposure is going to be tricky and assessing confounders equally so - might not have been smokers but secondhand smoke was not always a small risk. Anyway, public health shouldn't (and doesn't) depend on perfect evidence. Happy to put some feelers out to see if I...

When you get back to the car always take your knee pads off first. If you forget you may struggle to get your oversuit off. Inevitably you will be on Leck Fell in horizontal hail at this point.

Aye, Oxlow it is (y)

Marvellous - great little trip indeed! I forget which of my limited range of pics I've already used. Don't think we've had this one Another from the Peak District

Robins Shaft Mine?

I have a trip up to Assynt coming up in a few weeks time - first time  :clap2:. Hoping to negotiate a day or two release to get underground - I have the cave descriptions but really interested to hear: a. which trips are a must do - noting that these are likely to be solo trips b. any general...

Apparently kids grow - who would have guessed  :-\ So, I am putting up for sale the following - all of which has been well looked after and had about a max of 20 mainly small, simple cleanish trips - everything is in good nick and all of it originally bought at Bernies. 1 x Petzl Elios 2013 -...
