09/03/2018 - 11/03/2018 Once again a pleasant, warm comfortable hut, made even better by being the only ones there. Hoody (assisted by Chris) made everyone welcome and amused us all with catering and cooking misfortunes (for example the green beans being cooked with no water and the pudding heated with cling film attached – both …
Walk from Stoney & Knotlow Caving
18/02/18 The cave and walk leaders joined forces, the cave leader confident that the younger cavers would be able to cope without him. So the party started off with a devious route up the Dale via Stoney crags, past Carlswark and along the narrow climbers traverse to the Eyam road, all of which some members …
A Bad Weather Walk & Caving in Stoney
21/01/2018 With John E unable to lead the walkers, Syd was co-opted. With a poor weather forecast for snow and then turning to rain. Snowflakes began falling as we set off to Cutthroat Bridge, then up the shooting track to Jarvis Clough. The ground was frozen with a dusting of snow and picking our way …
Xmas Cave
16/12/17 - 17/12/17 Cavers descended R** R*** in Calver, which is one of the mines the Club explored in the early 1900’s. On the Saturday night they did a Streaks through-trip by candlelight.
Some More Swinging About #2
11/11/17 Only the two of us again for a bit of a last minute trip. Rigged up the entrance pitch with some of the cast-off wind turbine rope and whizzed down with the drill and one very heavy bag full of various cave biggering devices. Through the choke and back up Ride of the Valkyries …
Vortex I
15/10/17 We met Sam at Yonderman's and after breakfast headed over to Bradwell Moor where we were just in time to intercept Matt, who was driving the wrong way down the track and appeared to be doing a runner in his Hovis van. After turning him around, we parked up and started getting sorted and …
Some More Swinging About
14/10/17 Rob and I stayed at the hut Friday night in an attempt to get an alpine start on the Saturday, but squeezing in a fryup, forgetting wetsuit socks and general faffing meant we didn’t rumble along the Titan track until after 10. There was just the two of us again today, and after dropping …
Bosigran, Cornwall
24/09/17 - 26/09/17 A changeable three days, the best being the day of arrival and even better on the day of departure. Sod’s Law! After the two leaders and others arrived circa 3pm Thursday afternoon a short walk down to Bosigran was required to clear the heads, by which time Syd and Lionel had arrived …
A Crawl About and a Tidy Up
26/03/17 Back for a flying Sunday trip to have a look at a few bits and bobs. It was just the two of us again for the full trip into FSE, but George and Ed had been lured over for a mini-trip down to the window and back out in time for one of their …
NPC Hut, Yorkshire Dales
17/03/17 - 19/03/17 The meet was held at the NPC hut near Clapham (the Yorkshire one). The forecast was for rain all weekend and the forecast was correct. On Saturday the cavers were forced to abandon plans of a Dihedral - Disappointment Pot exchange trip which was frankly disappointing and searched the rigging guide from …
