Thanks everyone for your time and input. Very much appreciated! Andy S

Hi Everyone, Please can you advise me? Despite many decades of caving in the mainland UK my knowledge of Irish caves is quite limited. I'm writing a caving section for a book on outdoor activities. I'm going to list a few caves around the UK regions in three categories - good for beginners...

All sorted! Thanks.

Over the last month I've sent 4 emails to SWCC to arrange a midweek OFD access for our caving club but have had no reply. Our proposed date is now just over a week away so it's getting a bit tight. Please can somebody advise me of how to proceed? Thanks.

Clearly a great deal of time, effort and money has been put into the production of the new BCA newsletter.  I'd like to say well done, what a fine publication, good work everybody. I'd like to but I can't.  What I'm actually thinking is what a total waste of time and resources.  I've seen plenty...

Found in Swildon's changing barn 23rd May.  Petzl helmet with Petzl light.

Am I right in thinking there are no minimum age restrictions for OFD?  Club trip this Sunday and would like to bring junior member aged 13. Thanks! Andy Sparrow

Back in 2003 a collaboration of cavers and film-makers produced 'A Rock and a Hard Place' which is the dramatised story of the exploration of Fairy Cave Quarry.  This is now available on YouTube at this address: https://youtu.be/TWnujR06HZ0

The caveclimb.com website is now active again for websales.  All products are now listed within our home website - get there directly by following  http://www.caveclimb.com/product-index.html We are now only listing products kept in stock so everything should be available over the counter if...

Devon & Cornwall Underground Council - not much information of the website.  Please could somebody advise me on the following: How does it work? Who are the officers? How and when are they elected? Who is eligible to join? Is a copy of the constitution available?

Please be aware that we no longer have fixed opening hours on Saturdays.  All shop opening is now by arrangement but we hope this will allow more flexibility to suit our customers.  For example, we know that many of you are caving on Saturdays and it would suit you better to come early evening...

The following article was written for a Wessex Cave Club publication.  I have posted it here in the hope that some of you may find it interesting and informative. The P40 ? Then and Now? Rachel and I were very pleased to be able to join the Wessex trip to the Chartreuse this year.  I had not...

Now that YouTube has extended the length of films that can be uploaded, I am very pleased to be able to put Solo into the public domain. Solo is a film that will resonate with most cavers, but especially those who actively seek the unexplored. http://youtu.be/woJ6GMw58ig

Taken from the current CNCC thread: The point I'm making is that the BCA appears to spend a disproportionate amount of its time and resources promoting the interests of the commercial sector rather than that of ordinary cavers.  Examples, please.... On Mendip dozens of uneccessary bolts...

We are all awaiting the new Mendip Underground with great excitement.  Local cavers will be able to get a copy from the Hunters Lodge, but those further afield might like to use our mail order service.  Delivery expected 13th December.  We can't promise the book will arrive on time, but we can...
