Do you mean has been capped so not accessible or…

Having a wander past the Wharf entrances today, to find both the climbing shaft and the engine shaft were minus their nuts!…though the ones for Knotlow shafts were intact

Hmm, does DCA membership not include Matlock Bath now 😉

Echoing some of Fireguard’s concerns, I don’t really understand the major concerns of locking up Devonshire tight, it’s always been easily accessible in the past, as for many of the Matlock Bath mines. And I remember my own adventures underground in the 70s, often without a torch, let alone a...

My lad will be somewhere in the hug for the Up’ards, whilst I’ll be just praying for no visits to A&E!

Caver Keith, not sure if it counts as ‘sensation’, but I remember an earlier event in your video making career. A Tuesday evening trip up from Dudley to P8 in early 90s for shots of us struggling up the first pitch in water on an electron, ready for the Grand Circle charity event. A bit before...

Has distinct markings, please contact with details and will get it back to you

If I remember correctly Dave, you started your caving career ready for your 60th Titan trip. Ric and myself would love to join you for a trip if you fancy it?

I’ll pop in with Ric in next couple of days if any use

yesterday, at Sump 1, maybe a gap of about 2mm between silt and top of sump!

Hi, as above, found a Fellows power bank at Eldon parking on  Saturday, outer casing slightly cracked, anyone missing it?

Variety of caving gear found at Jug Hole parking area today. Get in touch with details and hopefully we can get your stuff back to you.

Hi, I am selling my copies of Northern Caves 1 (1988), 2 (1996) and 3(1994), separately or as a set. All in excellent condition with no annotations. PM for more information or to make a sensible offer before they find their way to auction. Thanks, Jon

A short trip report with a difference - would have made a great photo! Present: Three Owd Gits, and a Seven Year old Four candles, a mince pie and a cheap bottle of sherry! Twas the day before Christmas, three wise men (Well, a little bit of artistic license should be allowed at Xmas!) and an...

After our recent discussions about the digging out of squeezes in Mines, I was down Snake Mine tonight for the first time in about 6 months, along with a group of mates. It's a particular favourite of myself and Owd git (Ric) and we were pleasantly surprised at the amount of bolting someone had...

On a trip last night my curiosity was again aroused by the lack of the 2nd squeeze and who and why had gone to such efforts to dig it out (I guess about a year ago) and change it's water course. Over the years and the many trips I have done down there, I had always considered the twin squeezes...

Hi, just wondered if anyone on here has ever descended Thunder Shaft in Slaley Sough, OG and myself were just debating why we have never bothered ourselves.

Having an explore with Owd Git off the usual through route and came across what seems to be a recent dig along a tight rift and was wondering who was digging it and how are you getting on?

More in hope than expectation, a rope was left at Nettle/Oxlow parking spot on Friday night (20 Jan), just wondered if by some miracle a caver might have picked it up? Have already checked with farmer and at TSG, Cheers Jon

Just for interest, on a trip last night found two new digging tools at the squeezes and wondered if anyone had made them especially for purpose? Beginning to get cluttered there, Jason Birder's spade is still present as well as the tool Owd Git and I dragged out of Brightgate for the job!
