    An informative discussion

    Recently there was long thread about the BCA. I can now post possible answers to some of the questions, such as "Why is the BCA still raising membership prices when there is a significant amount still left in its coffers?"

Secret Digs

This thread is for general banter about all the secret digs which Whitelackington isn't involved in presently.  :confused:

I've got a secret dig that I frequent occasionally. Whitelackington hasn't attended. I can't say where it is 'cos I don't think I'm supposed to dig there. Haven't been there for a while - leave evidence of my visit in the vegetation this time of year, so it's really a winter dig. You might be surprised who's been there with me!!!

Hence it's secret!!!

I've got a secret dig too that I am pretty sure that only 3 cavers have been to (all at the same time.) It was discovered by a farmerie type person when he was working in his field. His boys went down it to have a little look before he let us know about it.

It wasn't very big, prob 60-80ft in total, but it did have a very interesting deep hole with a passageway heading off about halfway down. We didn't have any rope etc with us at the time, and the sides of the hole were way too rounded for my liking (and the other two cavers with me - see, I'm not the only coward!).

We have always intended to go back and have a better look, but haven't got round to it. It is much more fun keeping it as a secret dig from You-Know-Who (no, not Lord Voldemort!)

I've got a secret dig. It's so secret that after I go digging there, I fill it up again, to make sure nobody finds out where it is.

The ACG dig at Elm Street has been discontinued this year and hopefully a monorail will be installed for next season, allowing digging to continue.

The Rift - we need Mr Hilti to attend before the large boulder can be moved to return to the bottom dig.

No SECRET Digs - However there is a TOP SECRET dig.

Ive been digging, secretly of course, in Whitelackingtons back garden each time he goes caving. I fill it in again each time of course, so he doesnt know it is there....

Yeah, that's the one. I'm surprised we haven't bumped into each other.

Was my pathway through the vegetation visible?

No, you've been covering your tracks very well. I have to abandon digging plans when it's been snowing, though, for fear of leaving footprints on the lawn.

Anne, would that by any chance be somewhere near Bleadon?

Hello Whitelackington,

I meant to wish you happy birthday yesterday, but forgot, so here's Happy Birthday! sorry it is late!  :)

No, this secret potential dig (which IS genuine and true) is not near Bleadon unless you are talking on a country scale, then of course it is. No clues, otherwise it would not be a secret would it!!

Whitelackington - rumour has it that one of your clubs has a secret 1500 feet of passage in a not so secret dig.

Can you confirm this??  ;)

I am afraid as Mister Williams has said, that if I were to say not only would I have to kill you.
I would also become the target for an M.C.G. Hitman.
I've said too much :beer:

It's not the same secret breakthrough in the secret dig in the secret cave near their secret headquarters on the secret hills beginning with Mendi...

It may be the secret dig I started in The M.C.G. lawn but perhaps not, The Social seretary/gardener was quite cross and backfilled it for me, perhaps Treemonkey has re-opened it.
Malcolm Cotter was convinced that there was a cave, under the M.C.G. cottage, he hinted to me that they had stumbled into it, while building the cottage but covered it up, incase the council officials wouldn't let them carry on building the HQ :confused:

Also, in Farmer Brown's field is an ever deepening doline, (viewed from lounge window) that also according to Malcolm Cotter was not there before they built the M.C.G.
The M.c.g. constructed a soakaway, theory is it is causing the field to sink :D
