Nice picture of a muddy bum on some clean stal I suppose!

Look I am no angel but like the previous poster I must draw attention to those muddy boots etc on the stal. I would ask that the moderators edit out any images that do not comply with conservation as clearly this one does not. I cant say that its even nicely composed so I am surprised that it got any likes. Perhaps folk were looking at the bum

I'm sure the model will be pleased to read that final comment. And 'draw attention'? 'Comply with conservation'? Who are you, the stalactite police? We cleaned everything down afterwards, not that there was anything to worry about.

Cleaning down is not acceptable as damage during that process can occur. The photo was wrong in the first place.

So you are the Stalactite Police then? Get real.

Dont be childish. I say what I see. Its my opinion after 60 years of caving. The model would have looked better in profile off to one side not plonked back to camera in the middle of it all. Dont lets get personal. Its a reasonable debate.

Please discuss on the thread link below and leave the photo thread for photos.

Should The Moderators Edit Forum Image Uploads ?

May be worth a discussion. Frankly I have seen some awful images on Facebook regarding care and conservation. I have had to leave a couple of sites because of it. I certainly dont want to see the like here. But then should the mods let them through to give us a chance to moan about them ? I have...

No mud. No stal. No model. Just a very long wibbley wobley ladder completed today. Mine shaft cap with hole cut through at the top.

I'm sure many people would agree with me that a big septuanarian bum about a third of the way up the ladder would improve that picture no end.

 

[Chocolate fireguard]

I suspect I meant septuagenarian, but any old bum would do really.

Ladder? What ladder? I see no ladder, or any other sort of fixed aid... That's a fantastic bat roosting frame you've got there, O.R.

Er. Technical details for the er umm bat perch. Hand held two Skyray torches together. One has a long focus the other more wide angle. Plus Scurion main beam. The other hand TG 6 on Programme so flash fired. I working trip with just two of us so no model. The whole photo took a few seconds though I took three to be sure.

Last Bonfire weekend Mel, myself and George headed underground on a trip that would result in a 54hr rescue. I'm happy to report that this time, getting the gang back together, went somewhat more smoothly on our anniversary trip in to Ogof Ffynnon Ddu!

Old barrow in Victory Level workings by Jon Pemberton, on Flickr
We re-discovered this a couple of weeks ago under the Dale in Stoney Middleton. Mark Noble glimpsed it some 30 years ago at the top of a 'necky' 8m climb. We managed to dig through a short silted section to find extensive workings heading close to surface. Very interesting place, hopefully more artifacts to come.

 

[The Old Ruminator]

We call it " The Elephant ". Its big and grey and we try not to notice it. ( The Elephant in the room ). Its just wedged either side by some dross.
