Simon does house clearances. He found an old photo album, realised it belonged to a Craven Pothole Club member from the 1930s–50s, and got it to the club instead of the skip. What's inside is remarkable. 🤯

The Gaping Gill winch worked entirely by hand before today's chair. A wedding party posed under crossed caving ladders. Cavers dwarfed inside a chamber with one wooden ladder between them and the surface...

Middle Scar Cave: sealed for years after its entrance collapsed, only recently reopened. Almost nobody knows about it.

Gareth Williams and Kendal Caving Club were inside: wet, tight, and genuinely special. One of Ribblehead's least-known underground gems.

Incredible news for northern cavers and history nerds. DNA has revealed Northern Britain’s oldest human remains—found in a Cumbrian cave—belong to a 3-year-old girl from 11,000 years ago. Pierced jewelry suggests it was a sacred burial site. What do you think? 👇

A Texolex caving helmet, probably 1960s–70s, next to a modern Petzl.

The shell is resin-bonded woven textile laminate: cotton fabric soaked in phenolic resin, moulded under heat and pressure. The suspension inside was webbing and leather.

Produced by Malcolm Campbell (Plastics) Ltd, London. Patent dating to 1957.

Tight deviations are not only awkward to pass they increase the load on your anchor. At 60°+, the anchor takes more force than the rope load itself.

New from Gareth Williams: the Diccan Pot to Alum Pot exchange, and it might be his best film yet.

One of the Dales' most demanding wet potholes. Constant spray, thundering water, and a finale at the bottom of Alum Pot that's hard to forget.

Filmed with Kendal Caving Club.

⚠️ Experienced cavers only — consult the CNCC description before any trip.
