Once we have found a suitable entrance all the details will be publicised......Exactly why i said:bograt said:Or could it;
"12: What if someone finds some new cave but doesn't want to publicise where it is for some reason?
If the location and details of a new cave are kept secret can't be included. All the details and survey information have to be publicised." :-\ :-\
...i guess we're winning once we get the access sorted........

I can't help wishing we'd found it when we found the first pipe caverns in the 1980s. We had a reasonable access, and at least there was a shaft, alas now covered with a concrete raft and probably knackered.
It does help to explain where all the huge heaps of spar that were being worked in the 1920s came from! I never felt that there was enough space underground to have provided it all.
Thanks Rob; sounds pretty hopefull for another surface connection.Rob said:A number of mined out shafts can be seen to head up in the roof, one with quite a lot of dips coming down, so hopes are high for a surface connection with that one. Also we haven't even got to the end of the main level yet, let alone most of the side passages, so who knows where it may go!?!

Which one is you in the picture John?
I like the way he calls them snaps and says could have been probably better quality - I'd be most happy with a decent set of "snaps" like that!Rob said:Here's a small collection of snaps from the trip yesterday. There would be more, of probably better quality
