My old Petzl Ultra has done it's time and I'm looking at replacing it. I've been looking at a Petzl Duo Z2 as I don't need thousands of lumens for the sort of caving that I do. Does anyone have any experience of them please or has seen any helpful reviews? Just need something that can be taken...

I?ve got some Warmbac Fleece undersuits that haven?t had much use at all and are now surplus to requirements. They?ve had minimal use on easy trips and are still fluffy and basically like new. Sizes as follows: 1 x M (grey) 1 x M (blue) 1 x M+ (blue) - same height as a M but a bit wider 1 x M+...

Have got a AV Holloch Oversuit that's surplus to requirements and is in almost new condition. Red and black. Size M. It's not the UK Titan version but the AV Holloch which is a bit shorter in the body than the Titan. No damage at all, velcro fastening all perfect etc. Selling for ?90 plus a...

I?ve got some Warmbac Lightweight oversuits that haven?t had much use at all and are now surplus to requirements. They?ve had minimal use on easy trips (v little crawling) and are essentially like new. No damage to fabric and zips work well. Sizes as follows: L x 2 XL+ x 1 (same height as XL...

Am potentially on the look out for qualified Local Cave Leaders (or CICs for that matter) who can lead in Yorkshire Dales caves this summer. It's odd days through July and August so short notice but might help fill gaps in someone's diary if local. Send me a pm if interested. Thanks, Jules...

What happened in P8 on Saturday then? Busy week for DCRO eh! Hope nothing too serious. Jules.

I've got a Petzl Ultra here (one of the original sort) that seems to have a problem with the switch. I take the battery off, put it on charge and when the battery's fully charged replace the battery. Switch it on and nothing happens. On two occasions I've left the battery connected for a while...

Would be grateful if the owner of the rope on the downstream pitches in Winnats Head would get in touch. Send me a private message. Ta, Jules Barrett

Anyone have up-to-date contact details for John Keens? He was a member of the Eldon Pothole Club and used to live in Whaley Bridge. I have an address but no phone number. I would like to contact John as soon as possible. Please send me a PM. Cheers, Jules.

I'm doing the final weekend of the Cave Instructor Certificate assessment on the weekend of 19th and 20th December in Derbyshire. For this I have to show that I can teach a small group of people SRT skills and allow them to put them into practice with a trip underground. I have to supply a group...

I've got a Lowe Alpine men's Goretex Paclite waterproof jacket (medium) that's surplus to requirements and I'd rather someone had some use out of it. It was an emergency purchase in Feb this year, has only been worn a handful of times and is in pristine condition. It's a similar jacket to this...

In an effort to reclaim a room in my house I'm having a clear out. I've got the following for sale: Meander Criou PVC oversuit. Size 2A. Would fit someone 175 - 182cm tall and medium build. Brand new condition only used about 10 times and no damage. Bought too small January 09. Cost ?98.00. ?65...

Three eco anchors (P-bolts) were installed in December 2008 to protect a bad step in Jug Holes on Masson Hill. Certainly not necesary for experienced cavers but useful for novice groups. Travelling from the Adit Entrance to the Upper Entrance there are two anchors in the roof to start the...

Anyone got any large metal oil drums or plastic drums that they could donate. I'm after some for a problem-solving activity at an outdoor centre. Near Derbyshire would be great. :bow: Ta, Jules.

I've been given a couple of FX2 batteries and would like to put together a couple of complete lamps for our club to use with novices. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has FX2 lamps and/or a charger that they no longer want. Thanks, Jules.

Message from Chris Broome (DCA) DO NOT DESCEND LONG RAKE MINE, BRADWELL MOOR UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE On the weekend of 24/25 May 2008 two cavers were taken seriously ill with Carbon Monoxide poisoning in Long Rake Mine on Bradwell Moor. The source of the Carbon Monoxide is not known and DCA are...

Any photographers got any recommendations for places to go to get prints made from digital files. I don't mind whether online or postal service but obviously reasonably priced, good quality prints are important. I'm after larger sizes - 9" x 6" and up at the moment. I had a look at Boots but the...

The Eldon exchanges newsletters/journals with a couple of Derbyshire clubs and we would like to expand that to include more clubs. Our newsletter has recently had a re-vamp and is published quarterly with usually between ten and twenty black and white pages photocopied and stapled. There is a...

Another Bagshawe Cavern working day is planned for Saturday 5th April 08 and it would be great to get plenty of cavers along to help. The aim is to complete the casting of the concrete slabs in the roof of the entrance stope to protect the steps from rockfall. We will be mixing concrete on the...

Wonder if there's been much rock fall underground! I'm mildly annoyed with the timing actually. Was on a bit of a solo Carlswark excursion hours before and it would have been great/absolutely terrifying to have experienced a decent earthquake underground. Might not get the chance for another 20...
