Although bibliographies have appeared before, here is another one. This will include a lot of references from caving club newsletters & the like which probably have not appeared before, and also so far there are probably lots of sources not yet included which should be! Any additions always...

http://rnli.org/NewsCentre/Pages/Injured-man-rescued-from-cave-by-St-Agnes-RNLI1.aspx This was presumably from Towanroath Cavern Previously heard of a caver falling off trying to climb up the difficult climbs out of the cave (pitches unless you are a good climber) & breaking an ankle, having...

The survey of this cave gives a length of 380m with a probably insignificant bit near the western entrance unentered during the survey, certainly longer than I was expecting. This appears to put it as the longest sea cave in Europe and 5th longest in the world.

Currently this is quoted as Holl o Boadie on Papa Stour, Shetland, quoted as 300m or 400m long, the length probably originating from the 1878 6" OS map which shows a length of about 990 feet so 300m is likely to be correct. This has been copied onto even the most recent OS maps. A post on the...

Has anyone imported survex data including the LRUD data into autocad? I know it has been used to import the centreline, but what we would like is to produce somethging like the survex 3d files which can then be used in professional mining software which is much more versatile than the survex 3d...

The other day put a couple of survey legs into the Mousehole & getting the magnetic variation from the BGS site resulted in a negative correction - is this a first for a cave survey in the UK? see http://britgeopeople.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/somethings-happening-to-magnetic-north.html

Quick visit to this cave yesterday, needs another visit. Although there is a public footpath leading to the cave, this is not straightforward, first finding the start took some time (look for the public footpath sign with "not coast path" scratched on it). The last part of the path once had...

Spent a bit of time in the summer looking at various bits of the coast & recording lots of new sites. Probably the most interesting however was what Gus Horsley called Sealhole, however it is nowhere near either Sealhole Cavern or Sealhole Mine which are much further towards St Agnes Head. The...

Yet again the Devon & Cornwall Police have shown their procedures are totally incapable of handling cave resue callouts! (rescue from Prid last week). On numerous occasions they have assured DCRO they now have got the correct procedures in place, but this saga has been going on for 30 years plus...

Recently my croll was getting to the stage where it was just as good going down on some rope as going up, obviously the time for a new one although the wear to the cam was nothing like as bad as I had seen in the past, probably not doing so much these days in very muddy conditions.   what was...

In an attempt to extend the current record for the above, a site in East Cornwall was pushed last weekend but failed to reacho reach the required length (20m) to beat the current length. As we have so far been unable to trace the landowner the exact site is not given here, although nearby woods...

Originally posted by Alasdair Neill, 23-10-10 Any ideas of features to lookout for to suggest that a cave system in a coastal area may have been formed by a halocline process. Particular system I am thinking of shows a series of horizontal levels which appear to correspond with former sea level...

Can anyone give the location for the above? The geological Survey Mineral Resources volume seems to give its site as the same as Lydbrook Iron Mine (as shown on an old plan reproduced in an article on Drybrook level in an old RFDCC newsletter). However the government Lists of Mines gives it as...

There should be a piece about Devon CRO filmed at Baker's Pit probably next Sunday (18th October), on Countryfile, BBC1.

Hopefully someone more involved can add to the following, but checks on several DistoX's just made in Matienzo showed that following an east-west line then reversing along a back bearing failed to give the expected 180 degrees difference - errors of 5 degrees were come up with. It seems the...

I'm sure all cavers are fully supportive of the fire service's role in supporting cave rescue, and understand that nationally their role in relation to cro's and other voluntary rescue services is pretty well defined. Is it a good thing for caving for members of a cro to be involved in specific...
