Many Mendip cavers will be familiar with the story that Willie Stanton found such a lovely passage in a cave that he decided to block it up again. I know which cave but sadly Willie took very little photos so we may never know what it looked like. In any case Willie decided the passage was a dead end so in a way nothing lost.
Here is a case of mine.
Pink Pillar Chamber.
As far as I know only two people know where this is. The other was with me at the time but did not see it anyway. Let's just say it's an awkward place to get to. As ever I had my camera and took a few photos. ( This from a while ago. ) The name is mine for obvious reasons and the chamber is not on the survey. It's possible somebody may have been there in times past but no photos exist to my knowledge. These are from my archive and have never been published.
OK What makes this place special ( apart from the Pink Pillar ) are the calcite filled mud cracks on the route in. I cant think I have seen the like anywhere in a cave before. Now they are still pristine and I would like them to remain so.
