Bravo Tim Allen for this excellent, passionate interview with Sam Walker on BBC Radio 5 Live this morning about the BCA campaign to get recognition from Defra that CROW access rights extend to caves.

It starts at 1:24:30. NB that Ms Walker mentions that the interview had to be pre-recorded because Tim would be underground by the time it was broadcast at about 11.25. Great to see that the BCA's campaign leader is so active.
I do hope there won't be a flurry of comments claiming the interview breaches the BCA constitution, rather than reflecting a democratic mandate. I understand there are at least three motions - all from the same part of the country - due to be put before the BCA council this weekend, seeking to undermine the CROW campaign. In my view, if they are passed at the forthcoming AGM, this will do untold damage to caving and the BCA - unlike this cogent and positive interview.
