Hi All,
For those who are interested the Bradford Pothole Club winch meet is now up and running and as always the BPC welcomes fellow cavers to our meet.
In addition to the winch which will be running Sat 28th May to Friday 3rd June (winching stops at 12.00 on the 3rd) we have also rigged some of the alternative ways into the system for SRT
So far this includes:-
Bar Pot
Small Mammal
Wades (Flood Entrance)
Marilyn / Disappointment pot
Stream Passage pot
Can all visitors wishing to enter the system please come and sign in at the booking in tent prior to commencing any trips (and please remember to sign out before leaving!)
If you are visiting please do not park on the roads outside of people?s houses, please use the car park or park outside of the village, can we also remind all cavers to be discreet about where they are changing (all year round!) the villagers of Clapham (or the estate ) do not want to see naked cavers on their streets ? Thank you.
May I also remind visitors that:
Only competent cavers with suitable equipment and experience and who have BCA Insurance may access the alternative entrances into the Gaping Gill system.
Descents or ascents of routes landing in the Main Chamber (Main Shaft/ Dihedral/ Rat Hole, etc.) are not permitted.
Because full-time policing of the system and the rigging cannot be undertaken by the BPC all visitors who choose to use our equipment do so on the understanding that it is entirely at their own risk.
We also ask that all existing rigging should not be tampered with or left in an unsafe condition.
Anyone who wishes to use the winch to enter or exit the system must book in, pay the usual fee of ?15 and collect a numbered tag.
Russ.
