Hi all,
I recently completed a video edit of some forgotten footage from Boreham cave from around 10 years ago. I?ve given CDG members a preview of this and it has been well received and so I thought I?d share it here next. Sadly I didn?t complete this before David Hodgson passed away but Dave Ryall has now shared this with his family after attending David?s funeral this week.
PLEASE NOTE HOWEVER? this video is presently ?unlisted? that means that whilst the link can be shared, no one can browse online and find it. I?ve done this deliberately so that I can canvas opinions from cavers on whether it should be readily available online. Boreham is a sensitive site both from a conservation perspective and an access perspective. I?m mindful of the fact that I?m no longer a regular in the Dales (one day again perhaps) and that other might feel strongly about trying to keep this site under the radar (although there?s already another Boreham video on YouTube which doesn?t seem to have done any damage).
From my perspective, I?ve completed something which took many hours of effort (years really) and the whole point of a video like this is for it to be watched so of course I?d like it to be available widely and certainly to the caving and cave diving community.
Taking into account the views of other cavers seems like a reasonable way forward. This isn?t a democracy so I could just ignore you all and do what I want anyway? but at least I?ll know where I stand and what you lot think!
p.s. I've also sent the landowner a copy of the video already.
