Pip - Extreme ways - Peterson Saturday, 8 March 2008 Finally a weekend of caving.

Old Ing sumps Thursday, 28 February 2008 Dave Ryall from the BPC had recently re-lined the 2 short and free-diveable sumps in Old Ing, so we decided to go and do the through trip exiting via Dismal Hill. After dropping a rope down dismal hill, the entrance was quickly located and quick...

Mike Bottomley - February 23, 2008 0

A foul day for foul pot Saturday, 23 February 2008 Given the dire weather, I wasn't particularly enthused for a trip to the dales to do sell gill, juniper or rift again etc etc. However, a recommendation from Sam Allshorn late on friday night and the arrival of a keen and...

Sam Allshorn - February 17, 2008 0

Langcliffe Pot Via Oddmire to New Fearnought Choke Sunday, 17 February 2008 Mike suggested this trip on Wednesday or Thursday and what a corker! We'd all been to Boireau Falls chamber before and with settled cold weather it was perfect. We set off poorly disguised as walkers and arrived at the entrance...

Brown Hill Pot

Simon Jepps - January 27, 2008 0

Brown Hill Pot Sunday, 27 January 2008 Met up with Tom and Hodge at 9.55am on Saturday morning in Ingleton. This outrageously early start was due to me having to back in Leeds and clean for a posh meal at 7pm, surely no chance of me being late for that! We all...

Sam Allshorn - January 19, 2008 0

Trapdoor Pot and Boggarts Roaring Holes Saturday, 19 January 2008 A weekend of further foul weather saw a trip to Trapdoor Pot on Saturday and Bogart's on Sunday.

Peterson Pot Wednesday, 16 January 2008 Tom and I met up at 6.15 on the dot at Leck Fell (well I arrived there at 5.30, but Tom was late as usual. What can you do?). We left the cars at around 7.00 (after phoning in to check on our sick) and enjoyed...

Caving On Skye Friday, 4 January 2008 After spending the week in a very nice cottage on the side of Loch Slapin, and being on the Sam Allshorne peninsula as the main lump of limestone on the island it would have been rude to miss the opportunity. Unfortunately team failure and...
