The Yorkshire Ramblers journals are also online & have a load of caving content, but does anyone know of other non-caving publications with articles of interest?:

Ruth Neill mentions Cornish tin mines in "Recollections of The Count House" 2024-25 journal.
Terry Gifford included this climbing gem:
"The Tuesday Night Gang removed my harness as I lay prone and rigid with pain. We’d climbed over a fence to get in. Fortunately many Mendip climbers are also cavers and Mark Faulkner had his caving overalls in his car. So it was on this item of apparel that I was dragged under the fence and driven home."
& John Cleare's obituary:
"His inspirational housemaster, A.A. ‘Bertie’ Robertson, was an international athlete and a serious mountaineer: over two years John eagerly devoured every mountaineering book in his extensive library. Robertson was a caver too and lent the boys his gear to rig ropes and build tree houses in the tall trees around the college boarding house. He took them to the Mendips, to serious caves with tight squeezes, ladder pitches and underground rivers, which, for a twelve year old, were the ultimate adventures."

RGS article doesn't seem to be available anymore, but FRCC one was 1955:
