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?"
Does this cave get flooded or is it always accessible? If anybodys been down recently could they let me know how it went and what conditions were like as we are planning going down soon.

In wet weather most of the cave fills completely. There is also a crawl that sumps easily, lots of deep liquid mud, deep water (some swimming) and some awkward ducks that are only passable in drought.

Thanks - we will have to leave this one for dry weather.
I can also confirm it can flood very rapidly. I was caught out on a dry summers day when there was no evidence of local rain at all. The river Greta was bone dry when we entered, bone dry when we came out, but by the time we had finnished washing our gear in a pool the river was fully flowing bank full
That crawl through the liquid sticky mud with the water lapping at our heels will be long remembered.
