Cliff Force Cave by Andy Cole

Cliff Force Cave: Ian Cummins, Caddy, Phil Parker, Andy Cole. Walkers, Claire and Lynette (18th January 2014). We arrived at the very scenic Buttertubs pass on a typical cold wet January day, at the end of a particularly wet week. I half expected the cave would be flooded as the entrance is just above the …

Cliff Force Cave 2014 by Ian Cummins

Cliff Force Cave: Ian Cummins, Caddy, Phil Parker, Andy Cole. Walkers, Claire and Lynette (18th January 2014). First meet of the year and one of my favourite trips, remarkably now committed to memory after about 4 or 5 previous visits.  A civilised start found me pulling into the Buttertubs layby at noon, where the rest …

Cliff Force Rockfall by Ian Cummins

Cliff Force Cave: Ian, Viking (4th April 2010). A grim, chilly Easter Sunday in t'Buttertubs.  Rushing to get underground before the hailstorm arrived, I slid down the muddy entrance hole to find a rockfall!  Yes, the big freeze had taken its toll and the horizontal crawl at the bottom of the climb down was no …

Cliff Force Cave by Steve Warren

Cliff Force Cave: Ian, Beth, Jeff, Chris, Matthew, Steve Warren and Andy (15th March 2009).  This was an old favourite for me, a place where my old mate Arthur Champion bolted up into a fairy-tale land of shining crystals, and fossils etched out in the walls. Around that time, in the early 1980s, we took a …

Cliff Force Cave by Ian Cummins

Cliff Force Cave: Ian Cummins, John and Tony (Moldywarps) (26th May 2007). I bumped into John Dale in Smeltmill Beck, when he was exiting on a solo trip as I was entering. I knew from the cloudy water that someone was in the cave, but he got a great shock to see me wading along …
