Thanks to everyone who helped to do this work! I should also add that this was funded by the Somerset Community Foundation, so thank you to them too! Has anyone had a chance to use it yet?!

Could I order 2 please!

YouTube tells me that over 3000 people watched that video. Turns out that 2.5k of those views were from a link posted on a very specialist website, where people REALLY love mud…..

Muddy Hell, Upper Flood, 10 years ago. Kev Speight told me about an easy win we could get in Upper Flood. We travelled to a ‘niche’ part of the cave. We used our wellies to bail water. This created a thick mud soup. We were joined by Helen Jones (?) and Mike Waterworth. Mud soup thickened. A...

Thanks PW. Yes, I spent just over ?500, which is more than I thought that it would cost.

So, I've read Mendip Underground, The History of Mendip Caving by Peter Johnson, and The Mendip Caves by Balch. Please can anyone recommend any other mendip caving books ? Thanks Tom
