Thanks Pete. Much appreciated.

Whatever, it’s a tragic incident that has devastated the family and the company to whom the venue belonged. Thoughts and condolences to all involved.

Safely returned. A big shout out to Gritstone Adventure Activities who put it to one side.

Sneaked a few hours off work and there it was. Many thanks to all who responded so positively👍

Thanks Pete. I’ve put a request on the Peak forum so here’s hoping. I live in Lancashire and could pop up tomorrow but somehow, I think it might be gone then. Brand new Fenix as well. David

That would be brilliant. Here’s hoping.

Does anyone happen to have contact details for Peakshill Farm? I stupidly left my helmet and lamp on a wall at the Giants parking spot today and a passing group has since placed it on the honesty box. I’m unable to get to the Peaks for the next 3 days so I’m hoping someone at the farm can hold...

Yep, thats the group. Thank you Pete. I’ve left a message on FB.

Wow! good to hear from you and Ric. Am now in Lancashire but not that far. Up for a trip but it would have to fairly simple. Don’t think I could manage more than one pitch these days. Keep in touch, guys👍

I stupidly left my helmet and lamp on the wall next to the honesty box at Giants Hole today (Tuesday 2 May). It might have been picked up by the guided group I met as I exited. A bit of a long shot but would be grateful for a PM if that was the case. Many thanks.

True.

You’re almost there then!

Hope yet then.

Like Royston Vasey!

Oddly enough, I was looking at those artefacts today.

At the age of 73 I thought my caving days had gone. My last trip was a squeezy romp through Middle Washfold 6 years ago and I ached for days after. Time to pack up and I bought a boat. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago my 5 year-old granddaughter was talking about giants living in caves and I was...

Pottering about in Suicide Cave this morning and noticed that the R hand bolt forming the Y hang at the first pitch is distinctly wobbly. There is lateral movement of about 2mm either side and admittedly it held my weight on at least 4 abs/prussiks before I noticed it. No doubt someone will know...

Check out today's Sheffield Star (sorry, don't know how to do a proper link). Good feature on recent artefacts found by Dave Nixon et al. Cheers, David

Sadly too many competing interests and lack of space means that I need to thin out my gear. I have assorted slings, krabs, maillons, rope bags, 30m of rope, ascenders etc that need a new home. I also have a Nova Plus lamp/helmet and charger and guidebooks to include the complete Northern Caves...
