Can i extend my thanks to the team for making this happen

[Roger the Cat]

Yes, thank to UK Caving Club for hosting the forum.

That's the one, though the boat is often completely submerged in winter. Trips in through the showcave aren't really allowed if it's just for fun, and the main route in is via Peak Cavern, which is more of an ordeal but is proper caving. Wetness and muddyness is guaranteed, but wetness at least is possible at the end, which means removing the muddyness! Speedwell in winter can be scary, and definitely requires a well-insulated




approach - wetsuit or a very thick furry undersuit.


Can only agree with that brilliant site up at Castleton

The Castleton area is amazing Tom for sure , as said make sure you are dressed properly

I'm sure Keith won't object - this shows the main route:

Welcome back 

Not sure what  you're expecting.....UKC has been a friendly and supportive place to be online during lockdown - and long may that continue. Credit to all forum members over these past few months

Not sure I knew what to expect, I'd heard cavers were a very strange bunch  . However this site has shown them to be extremely friendly and supportive. Thanks!

I just found out that Chris Jones gave a presentation on 1st April about iron mines in Furness.

Does anyone know if it was recorded and available on You Tube?  Thanks.

Yes, and its all down to Tim and Jane. I can remember what this site was like in the old days.
We all applaud their success with it.

That's very kind, Roy - thank you.  We have an excellent moderation team too   

I feel it's also very much down to forum members. To everyone who posts (especially you), likes, joins in competitions, tells their mates about UKC in a positive manner, links us to their websites, shares posts on other social media etc etc, you are all a part of this forum, indeed you ARE this forum.  These days I feel and certainly hope cavers want UKC to be a friendlier place, there's enough crap going on in the world, we don't need it here too.
