I believe from talking to a few people that the bottom article on that linked document about being the Grassington moors incident is in-correct and it's actually "Top Mere" where this happened.

It was indeed Top Mere.

Did the Wessex letter contain any useful info?

In CRG Newsletter 117, September 1969 there is an article "The safety Factor of Wire Rope" by Jim Eyre - Reprinted from NPC Newsletter August 1969. This contains a reference to the KMC incident and a similar one in Gavel Pot.

That's it! Thanks ever so much for looking this up - in fact I've now been sent scans of the cover and pages 29-33 where the article can be found.

Mikem; in the end, that wasn't what I was looking for. But thanks for posting it.

cfmwh - got it! Thanks - and have replied directly.

Just checking you'd seen it, as I added it whilst langcliffe was also replying.

 

[Pitlamp]

Yep - did do - and many thanks.

Pitlamp. Here is another wire reference in the CRG manual (1969) which may be of use.
