Makes me scared just watching it! Chris.

Sorted - thanks for suggestions. Went for the Bretton Hostel near Eyam. Chris.

Morning All, I'm looking for a bunkhouse nearish to Castleton, although really anywhere within about 45mins drive would be fine. Needs to accommodate about 20 people, and be of a good standard (i.e. not a caving hut!). Any recommendations? Thanks, Chris.

Inner tubes are more robust than cheap dingies. Chris.

Electric cars typically charge to 80%; if you want the extra 20% you have to tell it. Chris.

Well it won't be hard to follow it upstream and find the source. No doubt a coal mine... Chris.

The book treats Ceunant Ddu, Hen Gloddfa and Foel Grochan equally. I can assure you there is no connection to Abercorris. It's a very long way (in underground terms) between them. Worth getting a copy of the book though from Mike. Chris.

Bangor Uni Caving Club - 1993. Chris.

Although I didn't know the location (but I did have the correct mineral), I enjoyed the old photos! Got any more? Chris.

Take a boat, just in case. Chris.

Gwynfynydd ? Chris.

Mmmmm, somewhere upstream of Dolly Tubs I wonder...... Near Plank Pool....:unsure:

It's complicated. The road is not a public highway. But there are lots of properties up there that enjoy vehicular access. How an angry person would be able to know which property you intend to visit I don't know. Almost all of the land is owned by Rydal Estates, but the owner of the old mill /...

It takes the land registry months if not years to update their records... Chris.

I have abseiled down the Croesor main shaft, yes indeed. Also got off near the bottom to look at the upper floor. There's a lot of rope bounce when you get back onto a rope with 90m above you... Chris.

A zip-line down the Wrysgan incline could be pretty exciting! Chris.

At some point the land owner is going to realise what is going on and borrow some 'chemical digging equipment' from our Yorkshire or Mendip cave explorers and blow the entrances in. Chris.

The second pitch is easy to negotiate without any gear. You just go up the slope instead, using the fixed rope, then around the traverse. Chris.

I used it last Saturday, and I agree it's very fast. I gripped the parallel rope with a gloved hand as hard as I could, and my speed remained just about acceptable. I imagine a lot of folk crash into the wall. Chris.

I shall sign up in the next couple of days, when I get a few minutes. Chris.
