Investigated a c.110' long abandoned stream passage cave on the Inisheer island. This is the only known cave and is located on the ridge behind the wreck of the Plasey. The passage is walking size for most of its length and ends in a loose earth choke - very diggable and worth a return visit.

Mouse, Vick, Teapot
Star date 19/5/74 10 am EARTHYEAR The INTREPID explorers decided to conquer the depths of GIANTS (Gaping hole of Derbyshire) And to install a line through ST VALENTINES (NO ONE KNEW WHY) Incedently it took more than 30 MIN to bail sump. As our life capsules were running out - no oxygen we did not conquer the Filthy Five so instead do east canals the traditional way the water was 4 ft below normal level approx surface area 20 ft x 9 ft so ends the Discovery.
Incedently it was mouses idea to put the line through ST VALS.
Just so Durdey with his new mask, snorkel + nerves could free dive it!
May 19th Thistle Pot
Drilled 4 shot holes using electric drill. Blew up wall to such an extent that it'll take weeks to clear away the gravel. Dug into 10' of tight passage ending in gravel choke with draught.

Cheg, Durdy, J.Rat, R.A., Icarus
To justify the extra supplies of black sludge embided during lunch time, the coprophiles then proceeded to pollute with excreta & woodbines the above said mentioned hole Dr Jacksons Hole. Cheg, Durdy, J.Rat, R.A. & the virgin Icarus (who had not ventured into this hole before this inst). Further investigations of dig at bottom of second rift showed little hope of success. V tight and awkward, & sand filled, nowhere to dump rubbish. Back to the drawing board.
P Webb.
By a majority vote, after he has paid his annual club fees, & back dated hut fees, R.A has been officially thrown out of the Pegasus for his activities against the interests of the glorious Fatherland. Heil Victor.
July 16th Pandora Mine, Wales
To be written by J.Rat
2 Wet days in N.Wales. A Trundlers delight! details to follow.
BY WET HE MEANS INSIDE
Festered down the PANDORA (or WILLOUGHBY-FOXDALE IF YER LIKE) MINE at Llanrwst, on the shores of limpid Llyn Geirionydd, near Nant-Bwlch Haiairn by the cottage of Ty'n-y-Groes etc etc etc Nice liitle trip. J.Rat found a grotty old felt hat (about 300yrs old) in one of the winzes. He may now be seen parading round country in same. Also trundled millions of tons of slate in Dinorwic Slate Quarries, near Deiniolen and threw stones at PARYS COPPER MINE Anglesey. Oh yes got pissed.
19/7/74 J.Rat, after having a lift from a passing Victor (from Walsall to New St Station, Brum didn't go to Greece. It seems the IRA got there first.

July 27th Hollandtwine
From Tony Jarratt's Log Book 5hrs
Cheg started to build a scaffolding platform across the main shaft at 150'. Meanwhile RA and myself climbed up the climbing shaft and put two ACRO's and an iron bar beneath the choke at the top. At this point we distinctly heard a jet aeroplane pass overhead! Also we could hear Steve using the pick somewhere nearby.
July 28th Hollandtwine
Cheg, McGuinness, t pot, J.Rat, R.Webb, Mouse + 1?
Put platform in at 150 ft level on Saturday and Sunday. Jarratt digging at end of 360 ft level in "Winze" says too narrow to dig and rubbish has to be brought out with your feet. Fresh collapse at end of 225 ft level and in cross-cut at bottom. floor lowered about 15 ft (Mouse)
From Tony Jarratt's Log Book 2½hrs
Cheg completed his platform while we went to the bottom. I had a short dig in the circular winze at the beginning of the collapsed Hazard (?) workings. This could possibly be pushed further with an iron bar, though the deads above the winze are decidedly "rank mank". On the 220' level I had just removed my head from a rather nasty looking hole when an equally nastly looking roof fall arrived in it.At the same time Mouse & friend had sunk into the floor near the bottom of the winding shaft when a 25' ginged shaft ran in?

A.Harrison, S.Chester, D.Stables, W.McGuinness, S.Watson
Got as far as junction of tiger II and gassons passage then turned back due to shortage of time. noticed what appeared to be a tube 20ft up in wall of rift above corkscrew. said it would be worth pegging. Big Al. agreed to try sometime.
August 18th Lathkill Head Cave
A. harrison, S.Chester, A.Steans, J.Jones, W.McGuinness, D.Stables, V.Holland
Took left hand fork at junction into Tiger II & III and arrived at handshake chamber. managed to force way through boulder shake into Gassons Passage and found small dry streamway down to Sump? Pushed by A Steans this continued until only 2" air space he then returned. Very strong draught from Boulder Choke on left. This was the first time a round trip of Tiger II & III - Gassons passage had been done.
August 24th Cumberland

looked at small holes at foot of the waterfall, and back down the river.
Warcop Fell
Two streams sink one grown over with peat sunk into a small choke at the bottom of a sink to the left of this small exposed bedding plane cluttered with debris, water could be heard rumbling below. worth a dig next time. the other is an obvious sink on dagber tarn diggable worth a visit.
Footnote. One or two good trips done in the High Force Hotel.
August 26th Giants Hole
A.Steans, J.Jones, W. McGuinness
Quick trip to the canals & return, still the same old cave, Watson still charges a quid minimum.

August 31st Lost Johns System
V.Holland, A.Steans, W/McGuinness, C.Coles
The above four descended the system after enlisting the help of 5 Huddersfield Tech sherpas to help carry the gear. The ability of these college types was tested by first proceeding down the Old Roof traverse and sending one down the 120' Monastery pitch, and then deciding to go the other way. Eventually four of these wankers left the cave, leaving one stout fellow named John to bottom with us and dutifully detackle and carry the gear out. A word of praise is also registered to 3 Red Rose members who generously loaned us 125 ft of ladder, After Chris and Al had in their infinite foresight laddered Hammer pot, Mud pot and Centipede before deciding to go the right way. However despite an eventful and enlightening route finding reconoitre the system was eventually followed to within a few feet of the final sump total time 8hrs.

THE PEGASUS PLAGUE
Dropping in this puky day,
I found the Pegasus away,
Instinct said they must be in,
The Stags, The Dev or Wanted Inn,
But though the ale in there was flowing,
No-one had seen them stick a toe in.
Could one or two have shot their lot,
Letting off bang down Thistle Pot,
Or somehow lost their means of traction,
Seeking ways of satisfaction,
In the Oxlow Giants connection,
Not a likely occupation,
For the suppers of our nation.
P8, Nettle and Hollandtwine,
May have some trogloditic shine,
But even so, not even they,
Can keep the Pegasus away,
from their alcoholic succour,
and what self-respecting ------,
Would choose to make his bed,
In a tight old hole like Lathkill Head.
Down to the information centre,
I decided for to venture,
But Mrs Young had no idea,
Of why there was nobody here,
They'd not been seen for a couple of weeks,
Not like our speleoholical freaks.
At Castleton you'll find the best tea,
In Mrs Lancaster's parlour you see,
And here I finally solved the mystery,
- shouldn't have doubted the lessons of history -,
a caring clan of another variety,
Had heard that in Mendip a local society,
Had attracted the Pegasus onto the scene,
By handing out free ale on Pridee Green.
September 21st Birks Fell
M.Durdy, Mouse, Dumbo, Cheg, Bill, T Pot, A Steans
A good sporting trip. Aland Mouse getting down the last pitch to the sump. T Pot did the first 200 ft due to lamp failure (again) and spent the rest of the day pouring hot water out of the local bog down his wet suit socks to keep warm length of trip 8½ hours. Pub on Sunday.

November 9th Coed Mawr Pool Mine
Betws-y-Coed, N Wales
½ mile of straight adit level leads to c.70' wet shaft. This was climbed using the 5" diameter compressed air pipes and a bible. A ledge was reached at 70' and the shaft still appeared to be going up - too much water to see across or up shaft. Rumours of piles of pumps, Holman rock drill etc up here somewhere. Will return and complete climb when mental asylum gives me a day off. (with N.Weston GMRG)
November 10th Tan-yr-Ogof Cave
Abergele, N Wales
Neil Weston , 2Mutton Duster (DOG) and self did much digging in these huge but short caves. Digging is easy being in clay and sand in a passage 30' high. Might go with JCB.
November 12th Parys Mtn Copper Mine
Anglesey, N Wales
N.W and I explored several hundred feet of intricate levels and stopes leading from an old incline level. At one point we found stone steps, leading straight into a flooded stope and in another a rock bridge spans a flooded shaft of blood red water. Real "Lord of the Rings" stuff! Found loads of copper sulphate (?) crystals.

November 17th Duce Hole
From Tony Jarratt's Log Book 1hr 50mins
Steve Watson, McAnus, Cheg
A small swallett entrance leads to some 200' of large walking passage with a superb dig at its end. A sand/gravel filled rift is being excavated by the club - a railway is soon to be installed. I dug through some 5' of gravel enabling me to squeeze through into 8' of open passage. A further 6' of partly choked rift cold be seen leading on. The water is believed to come out in Bagshawe.
November 23rd Notts Pot
Those present. Mouse (EPC), Dumbo (EPC) Graham Oggley (EPC)
Cave very wet in near flood conditions. We met a party of U.B.S.S. pirates, but they didn't cause any trouble. Descended by the left hand (wet) route by 20', 60', 90', 30', 30', 60' +15' pitches, single roping the first 60' and 90' as we didn't posses enough ladder. The last two pitches were said to be impassable by U.B.S.S. but we managed by abseiling down and swimming up with a strong life line. Coming out we had more than a fair share of trouble with tackle hauling and with bad lights - went down with 3 carbide , 3 electrics all working - came out on 2 carbide specials and one electric. Came out to a sleet blizzard, and it took some time to find the car.
Time 6½ hrs.
PERHAPS IF THE TRANSPORT HAD OFFERED PEGASUS MEMBERS A LIFT INSTEAD OF HIS PERSONAL FRIENDS IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A PCC MEET. ALSO IT MIGHT NOT HAVE TAKEN SO LONG

Aran View - Fisher St Pot - Doolin St Cathrines I
Entered Aran View about 5 pm. Shannon got cut on knee by tin can in entrance. Cheg went first down 'English Pig' entrance and was washed into crawl with 2" air space and then managed to get out. Mousse tried and got through finding a by-pass 20' to the right on the floor. Cheg returned out Aran View with Dennis. Mousse, Shannon and Bill continued at a fast speed towards junction to fisher st. Many Ducks encountered water flowing Very, Very fast. We reached St cathrine Junction and decided to continue to see if fisher street pot was open. We reached beginning of bedding cave and decided to return through St Cathrines as we had arranged. Return was very difficult water coming down the canals rose 2' in 20 mins and it got harder and harder to move. Bill and Shannon stayed to the side of the wall while mousse pushed on another 50' water still rose until 1½' from the roof. Bill, Shannon found the water easier to swim in and tried to follow mousse. Water level then began to drop until possible to continue up stream. Had to traverse over grande Canyon canals as water was strong. Lights had failed only one good one. Difficulty finding way up St Cathrines but found way out. 11.30 pm.
