fantastic stuff.

Saw the pictures before christmas in the Orpheus hut - they've managed to keep it very quiet for quite a while now.

Do you know if they are taking any conservation measures down there to protect vunerable features.

Yes - see "Access" and "Conservation" in the link on the first posting.

Yup - I was just logging back on to say if Id *actually* read the article - I'd have seen the whole section on conservation.

good work chaps.

Looks very interesting. Is it "open to the public" yet or are they still fettling in there?

 

[dunc]

Good effort from all involved... Must make a visit when I'm in that part of the world!

 

[Cavegod]

We're still digging but have a look at Owl Hole Access for information.

Great news, well done, and nice photos....

Its great that new finds are still coming out in the less frequented areas of the Peak.

As digging continues in the 'Owl's Bottom' yet another breaktrough has been gained into a well decorated chamber, adding another 20' of depth to the downward continuation of the dig..
More scaffolding is being installed to stabalise the boulders as we go..

I've just added a couple more photos of the new bits on the Owl hole pages at:

That makes the article in the current issue of "Descent" out of date!

just of interest, where is this exactly? the survey says "NGR 0710 6830" which could mean lots of places
