Yep, I think you passed me on the way out as I recall at the collapse traverse. It came away as I stepped onto it yesterday and dropped onto a ledge a few inches down, needless to say a s**t myself.

Following a trip into Odin Mine today be aware that the scaff pole on the top of Chippendale Rift is loose and almost gave out as I crossed it to the stemples. I tried to put it back but it moved again on the way out. Make sure you are attached to the rope as you cross to rig the pitch and...

Does anyone know if the Syphon has been active recently or how long the current free dive is?

Today we fitted a new rope to the vertical squeeze below Fox Chamber and removed the old one. Happy Xmas Y'all.

A few of us are heading up there next Saturday, I have some old rope that can replace it. I'll take it along and replace it if it's not already been done.

We were there a week ago. I left a roll of tape on the hangers at the bottom of the pitch for anyone who didn't remember to take some, please remove all your waste tape after you're done. The new pull through is much meatier than the old one and so is the knot, after a few failed attempts we...

Another way of saying farting then ?

Valid, it may well be that now you mention it, I was standing right in front of it and struggled with one word now I'm not sure I was right with at least two 🤣

Wow Jen I'd have been throwing shrimps on the Barbie my entire life if id have been alive back then. However by the look of the dates around that area they were all around the 1900- 1940 mark. What was interesting though was that some of the mineing vandals in Browns Folly also put their...

Thanks for that I can't not see it now, even if that's not what it says 😂

Went into Brown's Folly the other day and noticed an inscription on a wall at the lower end of the passage between Clapham Junction and the connection with Middle Passage. It states that Quote, "Any man??????? In this beautiful hole during meal times will be fined 10d." I couldn't for the life...

As of 14th September 22 Brown's is still open.

I was down there mid July and the situation doesn't seem to have changed which is odd given the dry summer so far. Sump B was sumped about 10ft under the lip so that may have lowered a bit. Around the same time I got to sump 5 in the Merlin's Streemway before the dive line disappeared into a...

Thank you for that.

Hi all, does anyone; know if Cussey Pot hasn't hangers in place or will I need to take them with me.

Thanks Pipster I'd seen that but last time I went it had a really old lid and a lock the key which you got from the house. It looks like a new lid has been fitted as it's all shinny and the access isn't through the house grounds now. It doesn't however mention how to get the new lid open...

I thinking of having a look in Eyam Dale House Cave later this week but I'm not sure on current access arrangements. The Peak Caves site gives the details but doesn't mention whether you need a key or a spanner for the lid. Do you still need a key from the house for access? And does the new...

Went into Eldon Hole last night and found the perimeter fence had been cut open and sheep shite was inside the enclosure. Fortunately no sheep had base jumped in but I'm pretty sure the farmer wouldn't take kindly to his livestock meeting an untimely end due to someone's stupidity. I made a...

Went into Sallet Hole today for a Potter around with a friend. Since I was in about 12 months ago there have been some huge movements and collapses some that have deformed the ringsets and by the looks of it there is plenty more due to come down. I recon the timbers have reached the age where...

Went into Knotlow yesterday morning and found that the nut holding the climbing shaft door down was missing. I think it's an M12, if anyone intends going in the near future and has access to an new nut could you replace it just incase the unthinkable occurs. I'll pack one in my bag as I vist...
