I’d assume because it’s considered to be proportionally waaaay lower than it should be. 25 quid to join as a club is a pittance as is the new proposed amount

Is handsome88 an AI account. None of their posts have done anything other than rephrase what has already been said (albeit with less detail) 😅😂

Think they’re reasonably active on their Facebook group.

If you put in a load of via ferrata staples and some cables, people could always retreat and nobody would need to look after the rope :)

And for true balance, I’m very grateful for the opportunities I’ve had from being on council, and haven’t had any actively negative experiences. I would however be lying if I said I was totally engaged with the direction council has headed over the last couple of years, and took a step away...

I’d be surprised if there was as many as three claims the policy could pay out (in a short period of time - but not within the same policy year) before becoming outrageously expensive . As posted above, a recent claim for another NGB was over 12m. In the history of BCA the insurance so far...

Not to be pernickety but the injured party wouldn’t make a claim under the policy. The injured party would sue the person liable (irrespective of insurance or not) and if they had insurance this would cover their liabilities. Having or not having insurance doesn’t change someone’s ability to...

In fairness not all people within the BCA believe you should be a BCA member in order to access caves (myself included).

Woah here we go. A long but probably incomplete list of my thoughts on the matter. Landowner indemnity Insurance Landowner indemnity is included within the insurance package that covers them for cavers accessing their land who may decide to sue them. *personal opinion: all landowners would be...

Oh my Buddha, I spend one day actually caving and I miss all of this. BCA Insurance manager response incoming (once I’ve showered and maybe snacked some grub)

I probably carry around 23g of mud and water soaked into oversuit for every biner I have to carry. Weight rarely enters my thoughts when selecting kit.

What kind of manoeuvring where you doing to get that to happen? Accidentally managing to slide, twist and flick as well as undo from a harness loop is some feat 😅

Can confirm website is having a wobbly, my previous login details on this section no longer work - maybe I’ve been sacked 🤞🏼 Edit: for the record I last remember being able to access through this a couple of months ago when updating insurance docs

The website admin log on is different to the login that is linked on the website. I can point you in the direction if that helps?
