I have noted this weekend that a black 12mm handline has been removed from Talybont. It is of very little value, if any, however there is a principle involved.
I am aware that some clubs and individuals have a 'policy' of removing any fixed aids such as in situ ropes etc.
This will not be tolerated in mines under my control, and if anyone doesn't like this then stay out. Simple.
Any individuals identified will be:
1/ Prosecuted
2/ Individuals, and ANY CLUB involved banned from all mines under my control. This will be enforced by court order. Defy a court order and you are in contempt of court which is an arrestable offence.
3/ Individuals and ANY CLUB involved will be named on the Internet.
All Cwmystwyth mines and Upper Dinas Silica Mine is private property of companies of which I am Managing Director. All fixed aids in Cwmystwyth Lefel Fawr are the property of Shropshire Caving and Mining Club and have been authorised by me.
Talybont, Henfwlch, Temple Mine, are Welsh Government or NRW property and managed by Cave Access Ltd of which I am a director with responsibility for these mines. Parc lead Mine, Hafna, and many other on ex Foresty Wales land come under the CAL remit.
I shall shortly be undertaking a program of security marking artefacts which have potential to be stolen.
An afterthought. Be aware that in Wales the hills have eyes.
