Peak District Update 2023-2024 (AKA Pissing around in the Peaks 2023 to 2024)

30 minute Lecture|Simon James Brooks

Abstract

The Peak District is a well established caving area with evidence of exploration arguably going back over 400 years. Yet despite this new discoveries continue to be made. Established digs are getting longer, or in some cases deeper, with old dig sites being revisited yielding commendable results. Caves are also been found in new outlying limestone area, previously thought to be barren. The Derbyshire section of the CDG remains active with some spectacular recent finds. This lecture aims to give the audience a concise whistle-stop overview of whats been happening since October 2023
