Thanks for that, I've only been there once, and we got to the junction between 2 and 3. Might have to go back at somepoint and have a bit more of a look.

Thanks

Rah, haven't been to Hodge for a good few years, let us know what it's like these days. Difficult to get there now. Have fun.

I'd love to but it's a bit of a long drive for me. My quals probably won't stack up either.

I love Hodge but since talking to Peter Wilmshurst I think it's off limits for me. Unless someone want's to carry my kit back out for me that is

On the other hand I'm sure I will be at Hodge again soon. It's just too tempting!

Yep, still there!

I was there at weekend but didn't dive (bad cold )

I've never dived it but it did look interesting.

bit sad but that was done by me and a guy called steve edmo we put them in after a guy never came out the police underwater search unit cut the original set of ropes out after recovering him.i was called on to give the pusu info and sketches etc for the recovery we said we would bring this guy home but they said no it had to be them ,they said they would be cuting the ropes up on the way out we told them that was stupidity and would only lead to more tragedy, we told them we where going to reinstate the ropes in a safer manner and thats what we came up with,we also did the gnome garden in wastwater after they pulled the ropes of that to
