16/12/09: On Saturday 5th December 2009 Keith Slatcher, Pete Collins and Karen Slatcher of the Orpheus Caving Club made a significant discovery in Water Icicle Close Cavern, Monyash, Derbyshire. 297m of fine walking size passage was found beyond the Aven Choke at the end of the North West Passage. This site has been of interest to exploratory cavers for many years. It's one of the larger cave passages in the area but it was blocked by a massive boulder choke. Many clubs and individuals have worked on this site on and off over the years, as it was one of those places that was certain to yeald some new cave. See Peak District Caving News December 2009 for the full story.
