Lost Torch in Ireby

Whilst derigging Bell, I stupidly dropped my Princetec Attitude backup torch down the pitch.  o_O
Didn't go back for it as I assumed it won't survive the fall!
If rescued and is still working, please let me know!
Cheers ;)

Surely, it was either working, in which case you would have wanted to retrieve it, or it was useless litter, in which case you wouldn't want to have left it despoiling the cave?

Why would you want to know? To know if it survives a fall such as that? :confused:
You didn't go to retrieve it, you abandoned it, so surely if someone finds it then they can keep it (/bin it) because you obviously didn't want it....

It was infact working - and pretty much brand new - only been on two caving trips prior to this!
Maybe it was a bad decision on my part to leave it behind, but the other members of our party were cold, and at the time I thought it would be a bad idea to spend more time faffing around to rig the pitch again and going to fetch it.
Anyways, I'm not expecting it to survive, but if anyone does find it and it is miraculously still in working order, then they are very welcome to it!
