    Charging NIMH batteries

    I have had a Bisun lamp for 12 or 14 years and have been very pleased with it. I have not caved this year and when I charged and ran it yesterday it dimmed after only an hour, with the battery voltage right down. The battery pack is 3 * 1.2V NIMH and the charger came with it. I have made up a...

    Old caving journals etc, being thrown out.

    Over more than 50 years I have acquired a lot of stuff to do with caving, but now it is time to get rid of it. I was going to take it all to the recycling tomorrow, but if anybody wants any of it to complete a collection or for other reasons I enclose a list. I don't want anything for it but if...

    Badger Licensing (Split from Manor Vale Cave, North York Moors)

    What reason did you give to get the licence? I would like to think it would have to be something a bit better than "We would like to do some digging to see if there is a cave there, please." Original thread here: http://ukcaving.com/board/index.php?topic=21501.0

    Electrical safety in caves

    There is an active topic in the Peak District section where the subject of running an electrical supply to a distant underground pump is briefly discussed. I think similar things have been done by some in the caving community in the past on an ad hoc basis but I have never seen anything you...

    Ventilator draught

    What is the source of the draught that blows into the Trenches/Liams way from the Ventilator? I have been thinking about this on & off for a couple of months and I can`t come up with a reason for it. I know the whole White River/Moosetrap/Nameless/Heaven series is very extensive, but so far as I...

    Tony Devoto

    The Limestone Caving Club (now defunct) was formed in 1962 and a reunion  is being organised for next year. Tony was a member from the start but we lost touch years ago. He caved with TPU/TSG in the late 60s and into the 70s at least. If anybody has information please PM me. Thanks

    Fell Beck and Rat hole

    We are intending to do Rat Hole tomorrow (weather permitting) and it would be good to know: Will the dam still be in place diverting Fell Beck down it and if so is it easy to get the water to go down GG without complete dismantling (we do not want to make a lot of work for the people sorting out...

    Cremated remains

    A caving friend has died and his family have asked us to scatter his ashes in a cave. Obviously we said yes but someone wondered if we were free to do so. We would welcome advice on this. I reckon there will be many readers of this forum who have personal experience of this. The ashes will not...
