In 2025, our Chair, Access Officer and Treasurer are all standing down. This meeting is an opportunity for interested people to make themselves known, ask questions, or just to spectate to see what the role might involve before putting your name forward.
I've just spotted that some of Dave Checkley's caving books have made their way to The Hub charity shop (bookshop) in Bentham if anyone is interested.So it is! I hadn't spotted that.
Yes!Hardrawkin?
Interesting. I presume this is the 1st pitch? Unless I've got my bearings wrong, I think I would usually deviate off the other side of the shaft, i.e. the true RHS, behind the caver.Yes!
This photo was taken about 10 seconds before Dan smashed the flashgun dangling beneath him. You may find 4 Duracell AA Nimh batteries in the sump....
Any luck?Me please!
Yes, the main/1st pitch. CNCC topo shows two naturals. The deviation in the photo is the first one we used I think, cobbled together from two cords to lengthen it a bit. On the true LHS of the waterfall. I can't remember seeing anything obvious on the true RHS and it seemed closer to the water. Full album here :Interesting. I presume this is the 1st pitch?

Great photos Steve! I agree it's a great trip. Particularly good for an evening.Great trip with easy access. Surprised it doesn't get mentioned/suggested more often.
