Note the question mark so its not a critiscism. I have been reading caving literature fo 60 years and in that time there has been a definite shift to include more foreign trip reports. I noted the same with diving mags to such an extent that I no longer bought them . The end for me came when I...

I potter about with the TG 6 sometimes head mounted. The caving light gives a burn out spot on video so I have now got the TG 6 mounted on a bracket with a tiny video light. Those little square ones you get on Amazon for £20. I shall try the video light as fill in for normal photography with the...

So sorry that you are gone old friend for over 60 years.

Well the question in this particular case. Aisholt Cave is well known for its temperature controlled draught. Strongly outward in warm weather . Cold at ten degrees below outside. Winter its cold air going in. Right up to the terminal boulder choke. B, fumes just disappear here and are not seen...

Trapdoor Chamber, Reservoir Hole. Got the idea lying in bed today. We have the Showcase but we can look at photographs another way. So anyone can join in. I don't chase perfection as you well know. There are other reasons that make a photograph valid. That is in the story that they tell. Most...

The cave with the big draught . Met Mike at 3.30pm after carrying down the scaffolding kit. Tweaked the big fallen branch hung up in the tree which crashed down just missing me. All pleasant in the wood now the leaf floor is drying out. Set up the carefully designed scaffold prop after some...

Just what I was hoping for. Thank you Paul and MCRA. Shatter 200 to follow. Still captioning the early 400 images. https://www.mcra.org.uk/photogallery/index.php?/category/34

I think that I need a KK tutorial but then I bet he has better " actors ".

Before you send me a load of flak please note thet this is a question and not a condemnation. All my views are written from a stance of complete ignorance of the matter so maybe others can contibute to this " essay " to enlighten me. Basically here I can only comment on what I see on the Mendip...

We tend to forget that many scientific advances are brought about by developments in war and space travel. Currently we are seeing the rise of the drone, robotics and Artificial Intelligance . A quick play on Chatgpt can get you odd and funny results but the poems are fun. AI will increasingly...

In the heart of the hills, where shadows dance, Lies Cothelstone Cave, a forgotten expanse. Once a haven for seekers of ancient lore, Now abandoned, silent, forevermore. Pickaxes rested, shovels laid to rest, Echoes of hopes that were once possessed. In the depths of the earth, a tale untold, Of...

All on the run photos as we were also helping a little bit with bag hauling. Two from the Photography Section. Willie's Windows. Willie Stanton built the windows to preserve the 18th C. grafitti. Lode Chamber. The opriginal way in for the miners.

"On November 10, a team of five explorers entered the cave and spent four days finding new passages near Deep Camp. They began in walking-sized passages that were first discovered in January. The passages are on the southwestern edge of the cave, heading south. One of the new passages, called...

Both my TG 6 cameras have gone dead once. That is won't switch on. By removing and replacing the battery they seemed fine again. Anyone had a similiar issue or know what the problem is/was please ?
