Eldon Hole

[Cave_Troll]

New fencing around Eldon Hole.

Some of the old fencing wire is in the south gulley.
It's out of the way, but would be easily removable if you're not got a load of rope hanging off your harness

Wire was gone today. Just some bits of wooden post remain. Nice new fence up there.

I assume it wasn;'t the DCA that did it ?

No, we were pleasantly surprised to see it. Note that the stile has gone now though. Also the last gate passed through on the way up has now been replaced with a short piece of wooden fence, and a new gate has been installed about 50m to the right (upslope). Also not by DCA.

Although I'm not sure when I'll get chance... I do hope to have a wander round Eldon hole, it's on my to-do list. What's the current state of the pull up cord/anchor for Millers, I' have a memory that there was discussion about it was tatty or something? Or was that in-situ rope from Millers to Damocles that people had been discussing?

It's all fine, as far as I know. The pull-up cord is a large triangle of polyprop, and generally gets a fair amount of use before it collapses.

at least as of 22 May 2022, the cord is all fine on the floor in a heap at the bottom of the climb- the pull-up is caput!

It's OK - we're aware of it and are trying to arrange a fix ASAP.
