So it appears the Dales is to get it's own version of the game. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-66499379 Deadline for nominating landmarks is the 31st Aug. Do we need to push for some caving entries?

I'm in need of some lifting bits and bobs. These people seem competitive, pehaps too competitive. Anybody got any feed back or recommendations? https://www.liftinggear-shop.co.uk/

Here we have two Oldham style camp lamps with leads, one Ceag and the other Speolotechnics. Both used with scuffs as expected, bulbs fitted but no idea if they work. The plan many years ago was to convert to LED but been collecting dust ever since. Open to (small) offers, collect from Newark...

I recall reading or hearing a quote about always using obscure units (non SI) when publishing results, nobody will be bothered to check if they are correct. It may not have been phrased quite like that but that was the general gist of it. Is it attributed to anyone? I?ve tried to google it but...

This new thread is the result of splitting out a tangential sub-thread from the BCA Ballot thread, dealing as it does with issues about whether BCA insurance is sufficient as a result of >?5m claim(s) I would beg to differ, some purely anecdotal evidence I raised in a different thread: In...

I am a caver who chooses not to be a member of a club or the BCA. I do not live in a caving region where I would expect to meet cavers, but have still met a half a dozen or more cavers in everyday life. Not one of those cavers were in a club or the BCA. I find that quite a startling statistic...

Was up by Providence yesterday and noticed a good size hole in the side of the cap that wasn't there a few weeks ago. I suspect flood waters could continue to mine out the cap.

I'll be heading down oxlow in the next few weeks - not been in ages :( Does anybody know if the 5th pitch can be rigged with a 15m. The rigging guide says 18m but i've found that the guide tends to over estimate. I don't want to have to carry too much, my next rope up is 30m. Thanx
