A group of our elderly statesmen have finally replaced the lid on Owlet Hole, Matlock Bath. As usual the steelwork was manufactured by Len (CCPC consultant engineer and general dogsbody). This old lead mine has one of the best examples of mining by "fire setting" in The Peak District and if you want a free entry in to Gullivers Kingdom this is the place.

Peak District Rigging Guide

This guide covers all the worthwhile SRT trips in the Peak District. Most of these systems are now equipped with eco-hangers, the majority of which were installed by club members over a period of about 3 years. Profits from the guides were used initially to fund this project and since its completion sizeable donations have been made to DCRO.
The cost of the guide is £6.00 from CCPC (+50p postage) or from Hitch'n'Hike, Caving Supplies or Inglesport.
