7/2/2007 - Photo of Monyash area added to Upper Lathkill category page. Work was started on building a permanent concreted entrance shaft for Moonmilk Pot.

4/2/2007 - Moonmilk Pot near  Wetton Mill was finally re-entered today by members of Darfar P.C., the first visitors since it became inaccessible some 16 years ago. The small formations in the cave were found to be undamaged. Please stay away while we make the entrance shaft safe, as it's currently 'rather unstable', to say the least. Later, Plantation Swallet between Wetton and Alstonefield was visited. It was found to be partially blocked about 6m down by a small collapse. It is hoped to remove the blockage sometime in the next few months.
