..a piece of SRT kit at the bottom of Hammer pitch. PM me with a description and I shall arrange to get it back to you.

Many years ago, I seem to remember a Descent write up on the Curtain Pot breakthrough(Pre 2019). I cant for the life of me find it by flicking through back copies. Does anyone know if there was such an article and if so, which edition. Cheers.

It’s that time of the year again folks! The CPC welcome cavers and non-cavers alike to the Gaping Gill winch meet. Dates for winch descents are Friday 12th to Friday 19th August. The usual trade routes will be rigged for faff free caving. Please come and say hi at the booking in tent and advise...

Hi All, Without wanting to spark a 'fixed aid' debate, can anyone advise if the in-situ traverse line is still in place above the 3rd downstream sump en-route to Geology? Also are the handlines still in place on the plug hole? Cheers

Hi all..or rather the Peaks contingent  ;D Is the access arrangements for Bagshaw still with Amanda at Eldon PC? Also....and this is a outside chance of course. Is the restricted stuff still on a leader led basis and if so, what are the chances of arranging an approved leader for the afternoon...

Hi all, Other than the Speleo Projects Calendar, are there any clubs, organisations or individuals producing a 2022 caving related calendar? The superbly produced DCRO one is coming to an end(obviously) and needs replacing.

Hi all, Is anyone aware if there are any developments regarding access to the caves on High Birkwith land? The last communication was they were preventing access under covid restrictions. There is nothing on the CNCC website to suggest access is now permitted. Are negotiations still ongoing...

Hi All, One of the main instigators of the caving display at Skipton museum is on the scrounge again. Gemma now works freelance and sent me the following message:- ' hope you are well! I have recently finished my contract with Craven Museum, however I?m doing a little freelance work for them...

Greetings cavers. Similar to our meet in 2020, the Craven Pothole Club are planning another meet centred on Gaping Gill from 14th August to 22nd August 2021 and we would like to welcome all cavers to join us for day visits. There will be no winch in operation, therefore attending cavers must...

Hi all, Does anyone know the rope lengths required for SLC? I can see pitch depths quoted on the survey. However, I have been informed the cave has been P bolted therefore the pitch depth may differ from the rope lengths considerably. Cheers.

Skipton town hall are hosting a series of free, specialist talks to herald the imminent opening of the newly refurbished Craven museum. As the museum will feature a permanent caving in the Dales and Lead mining exhibition, the next talk is on caving.  'The hidden World beneath the Craven Dales'...

Hi all, I'm posting this on behalf of a friend who is trying to locate where this photo was taken. I have scrutinised the photo but I don't recognise it from the shot. Paul states:- 'Hi Mate, can you tell me which pitch head this is, I thought it was in bull pot of the witches, but cant...

Huge thanks to UK caving and esp Pegasus for organising the recent UKC lockdown competitions and also the prize donators. I'm sure you will agree, they provided light relief from the recent madness we have all endured. I was lucky enough to win a prize.. And also leave myself wide open to...

Hi all, Following on from the Skipton Museum caving exhibition project, I?ve been asked by Gemma(one of the designers) if any local cavers on the forum would be willing to take part in audio interviews to be used as part of the exhibition. It will be a very informal interview and basically they...

Hi all, Following on from the Craven District Council plea for exhibits to be displayed in the new museum, an electron ladder has now been donated. The team of curators have also seen the classic B/W photo of Juniper Gulf taken by the late Ian Davidson.  The design team would like to use this...

I'm selling my lamp and helmet as above. Both have been well used and the helmet is scratched as you would expect from caving. However, the helmet has had no severe impact. Roy Fellows lamps need no introduction and as you will know they punch out an incredible amount of light. This lamp has 4...

Hi all, No doubt by now some of you will be aware that there was a joint trip to the Berger in July. Those who know me personally are now sick of the sound of the place as its kinda dominated my conversation and FB posts for the last six months. Also, most will know that the winning photo in...

Hi all, Just returned from the Berger. The trip was a roaring success with no incidents bar a slight fopar on my part. I was carrying the Pelicase containing the Hey phone that was to be used for comms at C1. At the end of the Meanders/head of Gontards, the case was attached to myself and the...

Hi all, Does anyone have a link or could possibly send me a photo/scan of the chart outlining the setting/lumens/burn times of the Custom Duo Omni V4? I've looked at the website and it only appears to have links to the newer versions. Cheers Glenn
