Another one of those knot videos, but try watching from 1 min 20 or so 😉 Anyone here perhaps... Mr K? 🤔

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c07k778v3nno Limited info, sounds more like erosion by a water supply leak than anything to do with Hearthstone "mines" / "the caves" (underground quarries) Doesn't any sound fun for residents affected.

Apologies for a barrage of questions, just ignore me if this is too irritating. And yes understood opinions/preferences will differ... But I notice in so many photos of current diving overhead, the second stages are Poseidon (mainly Cyklon 5000?). But the price is at a premium. As an fairly...

Hi all, it occured to me everyone and their dog have wandered about Giant's Hole... except for me! There's a 50:50 chance I'll be in the area Sunday morning so I'm planning to put some Wellies and whatnot in the back of the car, including a bit of rope for Garlands. I've been to DCA site, read...

Just from idle curiosity... And as a disclaimer I'm neither suggesting or advocating using a small single cylinder to push long free dives that are not really free dives! Rather as assistance for something that is free-able but pushing the limits or comfort. Yes a grey area... Yes opinions will...

He says it's not science unless you have a sample size of 2, so this is fully scientifically rigorous 🤣 Jump to 3:23 if you want to go straight there without seeing kong slide

Hi, I might or might not be in the area of Swildon's on a weekend (no idea of specific date yet) as I hear Vobster is warm and delightful at this time of year ;) If I was there on a weekend, with my son, and had a Sat evening to spare, is Swildon's to/through 1 realistic for someone who's never...

This is a simple re-post of a YouTube video, hope this doesn't break moderation rules But I thought the content would be useful and interesting here about ropes, even though the majority here already know what Beal unicore is about

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115675061130 I need a 100m semi static rope (not 2 ropes knotted) for a project I have in mind. I've used the LSK 10.5 made by Southern Ropes (from this seller before, 60m) and they're reassuringly chunky and reasonable wearing, nothing fancy, but a little bit slow...

Apologies if this is old news on Facebook (I don't use FB) but I noticed on their website https://newinnclapham.com/ it says... "...We regretfully inform you that this venue has now closed. Thank you to all of our guests and customers over the years..." Is it changing ownership, or has it gone?

Interesting... https://www.angleseymining.co.uk/ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-64169856 No doubt they need to line up the investors ;)

Please may I ask several fairly daft question, about the newly re-instated pull through and also Eldon hole in general (yes I did read the mini guide and rigging topo on PDCi before posting this) 1) The pull through up to Miller's - I'm wondering about what's at the top and so how to attach...

Hi all, I'm struggling to find much on Aditnow and maybe I'm an unrealistic optimist but I'm trying to find some underground mines in Essex that still exist (no I'm not expecting anything impressive). I'm aware of pillar and stall chalk mines just over the border into Cambridgeshire (in one...

You Derbyshire folks have been having some picturesque weather recently, especially Castleton Saw these pics taken on Tuesday https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-61722669 Hope some of you guys witnessed it too?

Hello geologists, geotechnical and mining surveyors people Please may I ask a question about chalk and marl, yes... I have tried Googling it, but for some reason (perhaps my ignorantly formed searches) I'm not getting back what I want. I already understand that chalk is composed of the remains...

With aditnow being unavailable and nothing coming back for my Gooling I *assume* the answer is "No", but just to tap into the hive megamind here: was there ever any underground slate quarrying in Leicestershire? I'm aware of slab slate extracted open-cast quarrying in e.g. Swithland Woods...

Seems that "The Internet" is trying to introduce climbers (etc) to going underground. A bit American and I suppose you could call it caving from a climber's perspective as the presenter is a climber and known as a highliner, not a caver Part1 (parts 2 and 3 not yet released)
