I have been working of recent on investigating the impact if CRoW applies to caving. It is limited to looking at the various powers which can be employed to provide for access control if CRoW does apply to caving. Whilst it looks at categories of caves, it does not consider any specific cave. Hence I have not posted it within the still open thread on CRoW Sec 26. I have also included a comment about the release of the 'instructions' which may be of interest to some. A copy of this work which I have forwarded to the C&A Convenor for consideration at next week's C&A meeting on the 16th can be found at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0RTfmWzkLQMVlFMMFhBWkozdEU/edit?usp=sharing.
I must repeat that since I am not a lawyer, I accept no liability from any one who uses the contents of the document. I issue it in the spirit of being open. I have already shared this document with Graham Mullan and no doubt he will disagree with it. Given the history of previous threads I am not inclined to enter into a debate on this forum about the contents. (Indeed the mods might wish to lock this thread.) I MAY answer specific questions PMd to me.
What I will urge cavers to do, if they have not already done so, is to present their concerns and desires to their regional C&A representative so he or she may take them into account in their preparation for the meeting.
