    Bad air / pollution / bad bolts / etc

    Could be. The camping was as busy as I'd ever seen it. Sent from my Swift 2 X using Tapatalk

    Bad air / pollution / bad bolts / etc

    Strong sewage-like smell in the entrance series to Little Neath yesterday, 26 August. From the entrance down to where you climb down a 1.5m waterfall where it was strongest. Unpleasant but bearable. Sent from my Swift 2 X using Tapatalk

    Help taking Scouts underground in Mendip

    Hello. My troop is going to be camping within a reasonably short drive of the Mendips from 22 to 29 July.  I realise this is peak holiday/camping time but I've been asked to see if I can find anyone to take them caving during the camp.  I keep meaning to get myself a Scout caving permit but...

    Number of trips

    I'm a Scout leader in Oxfordshire and have taken my Scouts caving on a couple of occasions with the help of others on here who have Scout Association authorisation.  However it's only every couple of years on Summer Camp, mostly in South Wales and only 2 groups of four or five Scouts.

    Local Cave Leader Training For Scout Leaders

    Hi Idris. No, I'm not an existing Scout Cave Leader but have been meaning to get it sorted out as there are even fewer Scout cavers in Oxfordshire where I live.  I do cave mostly in S. Wales.  Rhys has helped out our troop when we've been caving there before.  I've been vaguely thinking of...

    Come Join Us Sunday For Sun, Sand & Speleology With The Dudley! :)

    It was a great talk and it's inspired me to try and convince some fellow members of Croydon to investigate doing something similar.  At least one is Spanish so may be able to help with guide book interpretation! Great talk. Cheers, james.

    My Scout troop are camping in South Wales from 9th to 16th August.  I'm not with them for most of the camp due to family commitments and don't currently have a Scout permit anyway.  I was wondering if there is anyone in the area who has a Scout caving permit and might be able to take them caving...
