looking up pictures of Alum pot and some of them look strikingly like the BCA logo. Could this be what it is? Always have wondered.

CHECC 2018 - BCA logo competition

The silhouette should perhaps have an upside down caver in it, to represent the day I took a big whipper when climbing up to the the inlet which the shower of drips comes from!

Yes the logo is Alum Pot. Pegasus modernised the BCA logo during her short stint as BCA P&I officer.

I think she did a cracking job! It's a very good logo.

If I remember correctly, the iconic window into Alum Pot was chosen because Long Churns is often the first cave done by newbies to the sport (certainly in the Dales) and the first time you see the view out into the Pot is an unforgettable experience.

It's a great choice, and clearly proven so as you were able to recognise the logo from this photo, despite never having been there yourself.

Of course if you had your way the BCA logo would be the view down into Fox Chamber

Have been! Loved Alum. First thought back in Derbyshire was 'I need to do Eldon to keep the vibes going' and instead found frogs and dead crows
