    An informative discussion

    Recently there was long thread about the BCA. I can now post possible answers to some of the questions, such as "Why is the BCA still raising membership prices when there is a significant amount still left in its coffers?"

CRTT zip line - too fast!

Welcome Boris DK. I note that your first post was thoughtful, in that you were thinking of the safety of others.
There's sometimes an aversion to safety signage. Some think that warning signs are an admission that something's wrong, and can lead to legal liability. Also there then becomes a new problem of what the signage says and the need to then replace it. One of the regular (and annoying) jobs I do when volunteering is just regularly replacing damaged signs.
There's been a lot of useful information on ziplines and pulleys in these replies. It reinforces that what we need is a popular mine explorer website with a thread on the CRTT with this kind useful information and latest updates on there.

I used it last Saturday, and I agree it's very fast. I gripped the parallel rope with a gloved hand as hard as I could, and my speed remained just about acceptable.

I imagine a lot of folk crash into the wall.

Chris.
