    BCA AGM 11th June 2023 - details

    All very well if you're in a paid position, but for volunteers with a job and a life, I think that's asking a bit much. A manifesto isn't a bad idea, to encourage progress, but "immediate dismal" sounds like a recipe for disaster - and a distinct lack of volunteers.

    "River at the Centre of the Earth" (The search for the Timavo)

    I'm surprised no-one has mentioned this already, as it was apparently made in 2012 and I think it's been on Prime for a while, but I couldn't find anything using the search function. Anyhoo.... https://www.amazon.co.uk/River-Centre-Earth-Tullio-Bernabei/dp/B08V4GZ5XJ An interesting documentary...

    SpanSet IRATA course... and the winner is.....?

    Wow, this was genuinely a really tough decision as to who should win the IRATA course. There were many worthy contenders who put forward very convincing cases and it's a shame you can't all win! However, after much deliberation, myself and my trusted advisors agreed that the prize should go...

    Up for grabs ? SpanSet IRATA course (Hidden Earth Grand Prize)

    Where could an IRATA course take YOU? As part of the fantastic UKC competitions at Hidden Earth, I was lucky enough to win the Grand Prize of an IRATA course, donated by SpanSet.                     However, after much deliberation (and procrastination), I have decided to re-donate this...

    Edward's Shortcut Traverse (OFD)

    NB. A genuine question, not a criticism... I noticed on last week's episode of The Dudley, Caving and Cakes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIjbU0aYGis), that prior to Chunky's near disasterous fall (thank goodness for the cakes!), he was tackling the traverse in Edward's Shortcut. He was...

    "The cave divers who went back for their friends"

    I spotted this on the BBC news site this morning: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-36097300 I clicked on it half expecting another of those short "caving is stupid and dangerous" articles, but was pleasantly surprised to find a lengthy piece about two cave divers that died in Norway...
