Roaring Hole - lost 'bits' bag

[JasonC]

On last night's (18/10/23) trip, I managed to leave a small yellow Lyon 'bits' bag somewhere between Bandstand chamber and the top of Slab climb.
If anyone happens to find it, please pick it up and let me know, as it may be a little while before I can make a return visit.
Contains a pantin, watch and other bits and pieces.
Thanks...

Bump. I'd love to hear from anyone who has been down Roaring since 18th October, in case of any sightings (or non-sightings)

Not been the best weather for Roaring!

Hi JasonC

I was down Roaring Hole over the weekend and found your bag. We brought it up to the surface and left it clipped to the mesh covering the entrance hole

I hope that's of some use

Hi Tras2 - That's blooming marvellous!! Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!
I'd pretty much given up hope of a) persuading someone else to go with me and look for it and b) finding it if I did. I'll retrieve it as soon as I can get over there.
It shows that Roaring must be an even less popular trip than I thought, don't know why - I like it.
Out of interest, was it in the chamber at the top of Slab climb?

@JasonC I'm thinking of an Ingleborough walk this afternoon, want me to pick it up and leave it in the tackle store?

I'm happy to have made the right call. Yes it was at the top of Slab chamber. I inspected the contents to see if there was any owner information but found none so we decided to bring it to the surface hoping someone on here would know about it and be able to get collect it a little easier - a win all round

It was my first trip down Roaring hole. Tight in places (one of our group didn't get past the entrance shaft constriction) and I was the only one to go down to Sunset Boulevard where I found the water so deep I mistakenly thought I was at the sump so turned back

You did well! I've never made it down the 3rd pitch (as numbered by NC2) as I found it too tight. No problems with the entrance shaft constriction, but I can't say the same for the exit shaft constriction!

Now retrieved - thanks again @tras2 Miraculously, after 10 months, the contents were all present and correct, if a little damp.
A testament to the power of the forum, and the generosity of the caving community

Great to hear it found it's way home
