Permission for a dig

[Alex]

Not going to say much yet, it's all in the planning stages and we are going off topic.

So far it's to scope an area as it's prospecting this first one will be small in size as in number of people. I will submit my Ghar Parau application in good time (before March, which is the dead-line). We are in-contact with local cavers, who are happy for us to explore there provided we share everything we find, so far it's looking good so far and I am quite excited at the prospects in this overlooked area, watch this space.

Oh I see using the old off topic to dodge the subject...

If I can be persuaded, might join some diggers in York, then come to Nidderdale to interrogate you. I'll be hiding behind a drystone wall with a sheep disguise. baaah.

 

[Alex]

I will have you know I know all the sheep there personally, so I will know which one is you

Oh wait, that sounds VERY wrong.

gajaman, forget spelling and grammer for the moment, and there is plenty on any forum who's spelling and grammer is shit. I know mine is.
however your hostility really does no favours, you ask perfectly reasonable questions, but then don't seem to like the answers, so your next move is to remove your profile.
which begs the why ask advise in the first place,
all the advise from what I have read is well meant, which you plainly seem to want to ignore even if means falling foul of the legal system with the ultimate sanction ending up with a criminal conviction. But more than that you seem to want to upset the whole caving community in the peak district, and like many others have stated have spent many years building good relationships with land owners.
also your own disregard for your protection of insurance is mind boggling in an age of lets sue, and its not as if its expensive in south of England money its 3 pints of beer.
seriously take a chill pill and re think your strategy for the good of yourself and all the Derbyshire cavers.

Badger, Ganja has left the building, and doesn't care. His profile has been removed as well.

He wants to find his own holes, and we can all just do one. I doubt we're going to change his opinion.


I think he's following good advice given by a DCA bod of joining the forum and seeing how it goes, he's tried it and is not interested. I think we should give him lots of credit for biting the bullet and joining just to see if he could cope with us all. We're not all the same, that's what makes the caving community a great group of people.


But I agree, yes, that I don't want to see some of the good work put in by other generations of our kind go to waste.

I think we should have given him a spot on BCA oouncil, liven things up

Try being the person who mentioned Mossdale here nearly fifteen years ago. Things do change.
