Oscar Doyle + Andy Thompson Derbyshire’s most feckless duo have had Assault course in our sights for some time - so it was that on Saturday morning that we extricated ourselves from our nice warm beds, shook off the hangover and loaded up the car. Getting to the cave just in time ~10:15 -...

Large blue AV Titan - lighter in the chest pocket. Left to dry on Saturday (31st) in the corner of the drying room at the farm. Couldn’t find it on Sunday so I assume someone has mistaken it for theirs and taken it home.

Present: Will A, Mendip Andy and Oscar D Following two previous attempts on the two weekends prior; Will, Andy and I had decided that this weekend would be the one - Crusader or bust! Andy and I shot down Oxlow in record time on Friday morning to Pre-rig the pitches down to the start of...

Found a very shiny Fenix headlamp at Oxlow today any one lost one?

Was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for tight and squeezy trips anywhere in the Peak district - things that are esoteric and grim would also be appreciated Many thanks - Oscar

Was looking at going down Giant?s tomorrow to do the round trip. However I?ve noticed there?s a quite a bit of rain forecast for Castleton overnight. I?ve been in Giant?s a few times previously, but only in dry weather. I?m just wondering how much water will be in the system, I don?t mind...

This is my review of customduo's latest addition to their omni series, the v42. I would like to preface this review by stating that I am not in any way affiliated with customduo nor am I being paid to endorse their stuff. This is also the first customduo product that I've ever bought and so...

Hi all, Am going to try and do a trip to the bottom of the daylight lit section of Eldon hole tomorrow and then walk across to Oxlow and go to the West chamber and back. I haven't done much rigging on larger pitches before and neither have I visited either of these caves previously, so I was...

I am planning to do the Giant?s east canal on Monday and was wondering if there is any rope left in situ? Such such as the traverse and handlines. Thanks.

I am looking to buy a 100m of rope to start SRT with and was wondering which diameter to get. I know there are similar threads on the forum but most are about 10mm vs 10.5mm or are quite old. Thanks.

Making a return to Devonshire in a week and was wondering if anyone knew the way the cave goes after the Clay sculpture room just after a short crawl? Didnt manage to find the way past last time. There are low crawls that continue from the clay room but I wasn?t sure if these were the way on or...

Was hoping to spend a weekend in Matlock in a couple of weeks and was wondering if anyone knew of any cheap B&B's or bunkhouses or similar places to stay around the area. Thanks,

So today I went on my first trip in Mendip, to Goatchurch cavern. A fine system which has so much polished rock, that even walking was sketchy most of the time not to mention to coal chute or coffin lid. Anyway, the trip, I woke up early at about 6:00 and by 7:00 was on the road South, an early...

Anyone know current access restrictions regarding under 18?s in peak cavern? Looks like an awesome sporting cave but looking on their site, I can?t seem to find anything regarding under 18?s. Thanks  ;D

Was wondering if anyone has been under recently around the area. Am thinking about a trip to Daren on Monday and was wondering if anyone would know how much water would be in the system by then? Given the recent rain in the South. The last trip didn't go to plan and so this time I have a score...

Hi all, am planning a trip to Daren Cilau on Thursday and was wondering if anyone had a description of the route or a survey of Busmans to aide in route finding as none of party has set foot in Daren before and it seems as though getting lost can be rather easy, especially towards the end of the...

Would anyone know if the tunnels beneath the Matlock colour works are still accessible?

Looking for a small oversuit for a friend. Was wondering if anyone was trying to get rid of one. PM me if you have one. Thanks.

Is the tea still hot? This is the discussion about a flask found by Treasury Sump in Peak Cavern. These posts were moved from the Lost and Found Section

Looking to do a trip into Daren sometime but can't seem to find one online. I know they can be purchased from the CSS but could anyone tell me which books I could find a survey in? Thanks,
