I was recently in Lynkirk Cave near Stanhope and removed 8 tealights, an empty cigarette packet, two old wooly gloves an empty beer bottle and sveral sweet wrappers. Now I will admit that this small insignificant cave will never make it onto any one "must do" lis, but this is no way to treat any cave. Rightly or wrongly I assume the litter was deposited by groups from outdoor centres visiting the cave. Please, please treat our caves with respect. We are the guardians for future generations. Who wants to take up caving if your first experience is crawling through a glorified litter bin? Lynkirk has a wonderful collection of cave spiders and a rather nice calcite flow let's keep it so that these are the things visitors remember, not the rubbish.
