The first chapter of Caves & Karst of the Yorkshire Dales: volume 2 (Caves of Ingleborough), is now on the BCRA website at bcra.org.uk/pub/dales where it is available as a PDF download. BCRA Members will need to use the User-ID and access code given on your membership card. Non-members can purchase an ID for ?8/month or ?30/year - just go to the download page and follow the instructions.
Please note...
Other chapters of the Yorkshire Dales book will follow during the next two years, as and when they are prepared; the next one will be Caves of Wharfedale and Littondale. A printed volume will be published when all the chapters are completed, and the target date for that is late 2015. Volume 1 of the book is still available (on paper) for ?25 from bcra.org/uk/bookshop.
The editors, Tony Waltham and Dave Lowe, write...
"A significant benefit of producing the individual chapters in electronic format is that they can be updated, corrected and improved (but only by the editors). Although the Ingleborough chapter has been proofed with care, there might well be errors within its pages, and new explorations will render parts of it out-of-date. There may also be better photographs by cavers not directly known to the editors, who would therefore welcome any offered images. The reward for providing a photograph for the book is only the glory of a credit line, but it would be good to include some of the excellent work by the new generation of very talented cave photographers.
"The editors therefore invite corrections, updates and new photos for the Ingleborough chapter, preferably to tony@geophotos.co.uk. We also welcome photographs for any of the future chapters. We thank the authors and contributors who make the Volume possible, and hope that all Dales cavers, and indeed those from elsewhere, will approve of this chapter and the forthcoming chapters.
