    Gilbert Boldock enquiry

    My neighbour approached me yesterday as he knows I cave. He told me about Gilbert Boldock (his uncle by his mother) and if I'd heard about him. It seems that his mother had some correspondence from Graham Proudlove asking for any information re: a book he was writing. The letter was from a...

    Giants - dead sheep

    There's a dead sheep in the entrance (just after you step down from the concrete block). Was with a group so didn't have time to knock on the farm door nor the inclination to move it with group in tow! Farm issue or DCA?

    Bradford CAZ

    Having tried various driving routes from Sheffield to the Dales over the years I'd settled on one that is now out of bounds for me because of the Bradford CAZ. Looking at alternatives specifically that aren't Leeds/Wetherby (anything East of Bradford). Poring over a map leaving the M606...

    Short Drop/Gavel

    Years since I've done it so a memory jog is required please. Rigging topo has Gavel having two different routes (both 20m) to start. Only one on the topo connects to the Short Drop traverse, the other will be the route into Gavel itself. Is the first route the only way onto the SD traverse or...

    Timber question.

    Doing some DIY that's not relevant to the question, it's more to sate my inquisitiveness. What's the difference between a paling and a railing? Looking at the stock catalogue not sure why they're named differently, though my best guess is their function. Cheers.

    Giants Hole - Garland's Traverse

    In all the times I've been down Giants I'm almost ashamed to admit I've never gone round the traverse (opposite the normal P hanger route). I have a morning to kill and the forecast isn't that inspiring so this came to mind. Is it just a case of take some tat and imagination? Full on Beta...

    34 going on 30 - where did that go?

    Read a post last night - 34 going on 30, or at least I think I did as it's now not showing. I think it was one of Simon Beck's. Pity it's not here.

    Leisure battery charging question?

    Am I understanding this right: there are two(ish) methods of charging a leisure battery (in-situ of the vehicle)? One is a split relay and the other is a voltage sensing relay, yes? From what I can glean from the 'net, the split relay method is better (?), older tech, more difficult to fit(than...

    ACI/CNCC - question about which came first re: Leck

    Can anyone, with absolute proof i.e. they were there or have minutes of the meetings, tell me the actual order of events? The reason I ask is I've heard two different stories; one makes one side look virtuous and the other party the villains, and of course the counter is true depending on which...

    Pindale - SRT platform

    Is this open to anyone and who to contact? Thought I'd ask on here before pestering the wrong people. Cheers
