Derbyshire Cave Rescue Organisation: We provide DCRO with caving and rescue equipment "at cost" to help reduce the expence of equipment replacement. All profits from our sales of the CCPC Rigging Guide go to DCRO. We've also supplied them with four hand held two-way radios free of charge. DCRO have 24 hour access to our hire lamps, diving cylinders and stock equipment.
Derbyshire Caving Association: We support the DCA for their efforts representing cavers, their involvement in negotiating and maintaining access to land and caves, and the equipping of popular caves with long-lasting resin rock anchors. We've undertaken to supply the DCA with rock anchors as required, free of charge.
Greenland East Coast Kayak Expedition 2006:Martin Rickard, Pete Jones and Phil Clegg have returned from the Greenland East Coast Kayak Expedition (Scoresbysund to Ammassalik). Some of the stunning photos can be see in our Photo Gallery Enlarge. Equipment supplied: Garmin GPS (GPS60) and MSR stove (XGKII). 
Challenge Cancer Through Adventure:We recently helped out with Challenge Cancer's Deepest to Highest fund raising event, loaning Speleo Technics caving lamps and ladders, providing underground photography and assistance with the cave de-rig. Find out more about this local charity.... 
British Altitude Record Attempt: This year UK balloonist Rob Franklin will take off with the aim of setting a new British altitude record for a 77,000ft3 balloon by reaching a height of 40,000 feet (12200 metres). At one-and-a-half times the height of Everest the air temperature will be -60 to -70°C, and there's not enough oxygen to support life. We've supplied Rob with a Rab down suit for the flight. |
