No helmets, hand torches and an oversensational sound track. These videos are undoing a lot of the work we put into educate the public. The lock was broken I suspect!

For the last 3 years I have been talking to medical students on a Wilderness Medicine course on caving and cave rescue illustrating it with accounts of recent rescues. The Turkish rescue was unusual in that the issue was a medical emergency rather than a consequence of being in a cave. Has...

Anyone fancy being on the panel for this year's Cavers' JAM. Currently it is at 16.30 on Saturday afternoon. I think Roo Waters and Rostam Namaghi were interested.

This new AI system clearly trawls the net for its information but it seems to then garble it effectively. I asked it to describe the caves of Devon. Here is what I got: Kent's Cavern: Located in Torquay, Kent's Cavern is one of the most famous caves in the UK. It's a limestone cave system...

Just back from the printer's. I have 198 copies available. Taking names. PM me if interested. Cost £15 exc P&P. It is A4 with many colour illustrations, maps and some surveys. (Edit - Pegasus added the photo)

I have acquired some books that are surplus to what I have. They include a signed dedicated copy of The Darkness Beckons, first edition, a copy of the second edition, Race against Time signed by the authors, The Cave Explorers by Jim Eyre also signed by the author, The Great Caving Adventure...

Our club is thinking of celebrating 70 years of custodianship of St. Cuthbert's SWallet next year but publishing a book of photographs of the cave. Anybody who has taken images in the cave is very welcome to PM me. We are hoping for a comprehensive coverage of the system from its sporting...

Anybody got any contact details for him? I met him once about 25 years ago. I think he lives up North.

Now that the Bone Fissure is public knowledge (interview today on the Today programme) perhaps we will see those superb photographs that appeared so fleetingly on the forum recently.

Roo Waters has passed this along for dissemination.

I am researching the exploration done in the Taza area of the Middle Atlas and currently having problems finding a publication on the 1965 trip to Friouato and Chiker caves. Some major finds were made by cave divers Mike Wooding and Mike Jeanmaire but so far the British Caving Library hasn't...

To be honest if people don't put it on paper it just disappears. Somebody told me about significant finds in DYO a few years ago  - named passages and all. When I went looking there was  absolutely nothing in print despite several exploratory and digging trips with the approval of the cave...

How many people heard Rick Stanton being name checked on the Today programme the other morning?

There is a great piece about bats in this episode. Cannot remember when or what but it amused me at the time: https://youtu.be/oA7Wv3N4Gmg

This one is for PCG members mainly. As a matter of interest has anybody searched Radford Quarry face for caves. I am sure they must have but thought worth asking. It is now a Countryside Wildlife area on the opposite side of the lake to Radford Cave.

Yesterday, January 18th was the 40th anniversary. How many of you out there were involved in it and what can you remember?

I typed in 'how to use survex' on the search bar in Youtube. I suppose the result might be useful to female cave surveyors.

Does anybody know where you can obtain these in the UK?I bought one many years ago but it was on it's last legs when I last saw it and currently locate it.
