Due to the continued expansion of our busy Training Department, we are always looking for freelance Instructors to join our team delivering training at our head office in Middlewich and at clients sites throughout the UK.
I'm watching these videos, fascinated from the Greek island of Naxos! I'm left thinking what it would have been like to have had this sort of recording technology when many of the great Dales caves were being first explored? With regards to finding another entrance there will also be the conundrum of potentially easier access to consider. I can't say that the preservation of somewhere like Pippikin Pot was enhanced when Link Pot was opened or Mistral widened.
Flow Choke is one of a number of places likely to connect Redhouse to Slaughter. It's pretty close and I think it's only a matter of time before the caves are linked, but whether this happens before or after a link to one of he Symonds Yat caves remains to be seen.

Chocolate River is about 15m lower in elevation than any of the known stuff at Symonds Yat.
Better not 'pull the plug' then?
No, we are still very much above the river.
Sadly, much of this is out of date. A superb upgrade is in progress by Wayne Gladwin that will be able to be used for Cave Rescue purpose as well.
All surveys are preliminary at present as at some point we want to resurvey the entrance series (which will be fun...). An updated survey including the Marble River was submitted for Descent 302, but I guess they didn't have room.
