Hello Bit of an odd/specific request maybe, but does anyone have any PocketTopo calibration files lying around somewhere that they'd be willing to share with me? E.g. you calibrated your Disto, saved the result, and never got around to deleting it. Thanks Rich

Got a trip to Flat Holm planned in a couple of weeks. Sounds like there's a couple of minor caves or mines on the island. Anyone explored any of them? Surprisingly, there doesn't seem to be a single mention of the island on this forum, and very little on the interwebs. There's an entry in Tony...

I've just realised (been informed!)  that EuroSpeleo lasts from Saturday one week to Saturday the next. I'd assumed that it would go Friday to Sunday to maximise time EuroSpeleo time for those of us who don't have enough holiday to go for the whole week! So logically I guess if we can only take...

There's been a bit of an epidemic recently across South Wales of people making caves easier. Off the top of my head: The Daren through trip is now festooned with metal plates and ladders (including one comedy one that wouldn't look out of place in an Oompa Loompa's toolshed), not to mention the...

Cavemaps.org is doing a pretty good job getting all the Yorkshire surveys online. MCRA has the important Mendip surveys, and I forget where but there's a decent number of Derbyshire surveys online. Is anyone undertaking a similar project for Wales or shall I start one? I've got a reasonably...

Picked up a snapgate krab in Eastwater near the top of the Canyon the weekend just gone.

Hi I've lost my Pantin somewhere, probably on Ireby Fell. I may have lost it on the walk over to the cave or in the snow near the entrance. By the time I got to the first pitch (Bubbles route) I noticed it was missing. If it turns up, please get in touch. It was gear taped with green black...

Well over a year ago user Robdeans86 made a file available with GPS info for caves for Tom Tom sat nav systems (original post: http://ukcaving.com/board/index.php/topic,5750.0.html). I've found it very handy being able to navigate to caves using my satnav (especially with my sense of direction ...

Last week I and four others got trapped in the OFD streamway after we got hit by a flood pulse. This caused a major rescue call out. I've written up an account of what happened (with contributions from the others). Apologies for the length, but it was an eventful trip and I think it's a story...

Hi Bubba If it's not too much trouble, is there any chance we could get an "ignore" option for individual members? There's a few people on here who post pages of junk which I can't be bothered to wade through each time I visit. I see there is at least one mod available for SMF...

100 to 250m wide entrances... http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/070402_mm_mars_caves.html Looks like my application for the manned Mars mission in 2020 has just been given a boost :)

I've lost my new eVENT jacket. It's grey and black and I think it has eVENT written on one sleeve. The last time I remember having it was at Hidden Earth (though there's a chance it could have been left at another caving place!) It didn't get collected by the Hidden Earth team and the school...

See: http://fishingdiscountstore.co.uk/7.html Doesn't look tremendously robust, but they claim it's waterproof, and look at the price!

It seems to be very difficult at the moment to get hold of surveys. At the moment for example Dragon have no copies of any surveys of the major Welsh systems in stock. Individual clubs seem to always be "just about" (for about 5 years) to produce the latest and greatest version of the important...

Ello Don't suppose a pair of (green) cowstails with (gear taped) krabs have been found by anyone in the Gaping Gill system? Lost them between Bar Pot and Gaping Gill main chamber. This was during the first few days of 2006-- should probably have posted this earlier but thought they might have...
