On a quick evening trip to the bottom of the Canyon today, spotted a rope going up at the end of the Canyon roof traverse. Didn't bother having a proper look up, but it definitely went up at least 5m or so. Anyone know where it goes/who put it there/how old the rope or hangers are? Also, some...

An after work trip today found me down Meregill, to have a look at the non existent lake! I know it has been mentioned on here before by a few people but it really is a sight to see. Dropped down off the fallen tree, which is actually still alive and has leaves and buds currently, I landed next...

A message I'm passing on from BCRC/CRO below regarding Alum Pot. "This is to inform you that The British Cave Rescue Council has been given permission to close the "open" access to the Alum Pot system on Saturday 7th June 2025. This is to allow the running of "RESCON 25" BCRC Conference. It...

Quakings reputation precedes it. So it was with some trepidation that three of us set off from Storrs common towards Ingleborough. The other two had been to the crux and back a month before but it was my first time in this infamous pot. At Crina Bottom we ran into Martin H, a CRO DC, and he...

Found a knife at the top of the first pitch of it's a cracker today. PM me the brand of knife if you think it's yours!

Don't suppose anyone has advice regarding rigging this? Lengths of pitch, tackle requirements etc

Do any of the areas/sections of Great Douk have actual officially recognised names? There are some distinctive features which seem like they could have names, but I could only find a source for names in Stephen Oldfields three peaks blog, with other references online linking the names back to this.

Just wondering if anyone has a modified Disto X2 they no longer want, I’d be very keen to get my hands on one! Pm me with details of you do 😀

A trip down Alum brought out a bag of ropes and rigging gear, sadly unmarked. Must have been lost some time between the 4th sept and 13th sept. If you think it’s yours, PM me some details.

Which Dales cave would you like to see a modern/updated survey for outside of the 3 counties system? I often find myself wanting to see a survey of caves but can’t find them! You never know, maybe this thread could inspire some surveyors!

On the topo there is a deviation marked on the lower second pitch route. On a trip yesterday several of us looked for the bolt, but couldn’t find it. We spotted the deviation for the higher route (or at least we think we did, it would have created some catastrophic rope rub to use it for our...

This trip was conceived a while ago, when I decided I wanted a good journey through a cave. I settled on Masongill, as I hadn’t explored several parts of this wonderful system, and had chatted to Dave Ramsay at work about his many explorations in the system. I settled on Large to Ireby, as...

Hello wonderful folk, I’ve been chatting with the wonderful David Ramsay at work, and have gotten my heart set on a couple of trips down Ireby. Couple of questions about the conditions. 1) Cripple Creek. Has anyone had a look at the ropes and hangers in here? Or the ones up to Jupiter? Dave...

Needing a caver post from Clapham/ingleton/settle area to Bristol or mendip, a sleeping bag has ended up in the CROs possession that needs to make its way home to its owner. If anyone can help I’ll probably be able to have it dried and ready to go thursday 7th Cheers

I’ve recently read through a couple of older publications about the caves in Yorkshire, the first being “A tour of the caves in the environs of Ingleborough and Settle" By John Hutton, published in 1780. The second was "Cave Hunting" By William Boyd Dawkins (who was a mate of John Birkbeck)...

Date:25/2/23 Cavers: Myself, Aila T, James W (AKA Hagrid), Charlie C Trip: Gingling Hole, Big Rift route A dry morning was a good sign for our second crack at this Fountains Fell classic. Aila and I managed to steal Charlie and Hagrid from their own trips, Charlie because he wanted to go...

I was checking out a map of the lakes, and spotted Jingling pot on the map, south of Shap on Hardendale fell. The satellite shows a very inviting shake hole and I was wondering if there was any more information on it, northern caves and CNCC were dead ends, mostly due to Jingling being a popular...

Found in the Eldon extensions last Friday, may have been lost during the three counties traverse, or after. If you?re missing a bit of metalwork after being in there, let me know what it is, and it may be yours!

Hey all, Just wondering what, if anything is still rigged after the three counties grand traverse. Currently planning a trip and if anything?s left rigged it could be a huge help! Cheers

On a trip today with my dad in Goydon, and we were forced to abandon a round trip due to a huge plug of flood debris blocking the entrance end of Cap Left crawl. Looked like it could take some effort to dig out. Also contained a multitude of pheasant corpses, so mind the smell!
