I'm going to be moving to KL for a year or two and an trying to hook up with a local Caving club but seen to be drawing a blank. Is there anyone here that has any good contacts? I've been Caving in the uk for 15 years, so I'm not just a tourist that wants a cheap jolly! Alternatively any...

Looking to get a band for our Agm in June - wondered if anyone had any reccommendations? We usually have something funky, but are open to suggestions! Thanks in advance Chris

I get the impression that there might be some lava caves in Mauritius (http://www.vulcanospeleology.org/sym09/ISV9Eal.pdf)  but don't seem to be able to find any useful information.  It might be a long shot, but does anyone know of any clubs on the island or useful documented surveys/ maps etc...

So, after deciding not to do Gingling this weekend due to Friday night's deluge, we thought we'd have a crack at Trapdoor pot. Unfortunately our cave karma had obviously been used up earlier in the month and we ended up wandering around Fountains Fell for hours without finding it.  :wall: We...

I'm hoping to visit Aggy tomorrow and would quite like to see the Courtesan if at all possible. I've not been to Aggy before, and was hoping someone might be able to give me some general directions on how to find it - I've heard it's not obvious? Thanks in advance, Chris

We're having a debate in our club at the moment between the committee members about what a reasonable membership fee rate is and how regularly to review membership and hut fees. If anyone's willing to share what their club charges for annual membership or any policy on hut fee increases (e.g...

2 posts in two minutes.... blimey. What I was going to ask before being sidetracked by old threads was is the Brynmawr caving club still responsible for controlling access to Carno? I'd like to get a trip organised for the 6 November (a Friday), but haven't had a response from the email address...

Is it best to park and walk up from Crummack, or is it better to park at the farm on the road between the Station Inn and Horton (can't remember its name - south something?) Cheers

Looks like nice work if you can get it! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8182086.stm

Does anyone have a set of plans (or photos) for a home made rope washer. I'm tired of having to kneel over a bowl of warm water with the usual hand scrubber. Without a doubt, the best washer and coiler I've ever seen is the one in the Orpheus, but that looks like a proper welding engineer has...

Anyone got a copy of this guidebook they wouldn't mind parting with? Please PM if you do.

Meander PVC oversuit or Warmbac oversuit? Or something else? Anyone had both - anyone got an opionions on either (as if I need to ask!) I had a warmbac suit about 7 years ago and remembering it being tougher wearing than the Meanders, but it having a tendancy to become rigid as time went on.

Just wanted to check the latest on access to Draenen, given the recent Descent article. I'd always assumed that you didn't need to 'book' in advance, so long as you knew your way round, the code to the door and signed in using the usual book. Can anyone correct me if I'm wrong as I'm hoping to...

OK, so having convinced my wife to get me a copy of Not for the Faint Hearted for my birthday, I'm now trying to decide which of the many 'fun' trips to do. The one that I keep coming back to is Strans Gill so, two questions: (1) I know it's very tight, but can someone that's been there give...

Does anyone have a spare copy of the A0 Draenen survey in reasonable nick that they'd be prepared to part with for a fair price?

Hi, Has anyone done the Sistema Badalona pull through in Spain? I've seen the Speleo Avalon website gallery which makes it look great and am keen on finding out whether anyone knows a bit more about it. The usual stuff e.g. location, access restrictions, surveys, funny stories, horror stories...

Planning to do a JH-Titan exchange trip. We've got guys that have done Titan and guys that have done JH, but no-one's done the link between the two.  :-\ Does anyone have any wise words of wisdom for routefinding?? Cheers, Chris
