    An informative discussion

    Recently there was long thread about the BCA. I can now post possible answers to some of the questions, such as "Why is the BCA still raising membership prices when there is a significant amount still left in its coffers?"

    Sea Caves, anyone?

    Nice film. Wouldn't like to use a backmount in there though! I am wondering if that is Mermaid's Hole on the film as it is a large passage compared with the ones I visited in the 80's.

    Sea Caves, anyone?

    The sea cave at Trevaunance Cove, St Agnes is a fine cave as mentioned. Just extended one 800 miles from there at Balnakeil Bay in Durness. This is probably the finest sea cave I have been in - you can boat up the passage and it has many formations in it.

    Schoolhouse Cave

    A group of BEC members visited it last year at my suggestion. Took a while to find what we think was Schoolhouse Cave. The part we found was stream sink with walking passage and roof stal. We packed up when the roof lowered.

    Mud Sump

    Well the fourth generation has now been caving in my family. I got my father into it back in the mid 60's then persuaded my wife to try it then both my daughetrs (one has been to Meghalaya a couple of times) and now all my grandchildren have been underground (and Scarlett has been in Descent)...

    BBC - Inside Scotland's Ancient Bone Caves

    Do tell which ones they are for as per usual I don't know who Long Drop is! Unless people tell me their real names I haven't a clue who they are as you can imagine.

    BBC - Inside Scotland's Ancient Bone Caves

    I noticed the BBC used two of my photos but I can't say they ever contacted me about using them!

    Too Much " Foreign Stuff " In Caving Mags. and Journals ?

    Like Langcliffe I feel it is the content of the stories about foreign caving that is a factor. Pozo Azul's exploration is so extraordinary it would be criminal not to share the tale. Some reports do become a bit hackneyed and I then lose that sense of connection one needs. Sometimes there is a...

    Cave in Brixham - Behind Dolphin Court Apartments on Overgang?

    I gather access is still tricky but for the life of me I cannot remember who gave me the most recent update! Just for interest I took a member of the family after which the cave is named down Pridhamsleigh a couple of years ago. She wanted to record water sounds underground.

    Best ever bands that are still hanging around

    I am surprised nobody has mentioned 10cc who we saw the other day. Few bands would play an entire album straight through which is what they did a few years ago. It certainly prompted us to see their latest tour. Some of the wittiest and most entertaining pop/rock ever produced. Then there is...
