    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

Whitelackington this list you posted in the decline in caing numbers, but I resurected here, as it is a bit more relevent.
Let's see,
there is
Upper Flood Swallet                                          1
Manor Farm Swallet                                          2
Roman Rift                                                      3
Timber Hole                                                      4
Pinetree Pot                                                    5
Cow Hole                                                        6
Old Fart's Dig                                                    7
New Hole opened up lower down than Longwood    8 
Anyone think of any more?

I see in Descent that one of your clubs the MCG, are also checking out an old dig near UFS called Ch... something Shaft, or is this what you refer to as the 'Old Fart's Dig'? It is the BEC digging Manor Farm. You also need to add the UBSS dig in Tynings Farm Swallet. Is anyone having a crack at the end of Tyning's Barrow Swallet again?

At least one of those in the list is so secret that if I told you in whose imagination it wasn't a figment, I would have to eat my caving wellies.

Charnel Shaft is a mine shaft that was dug by M.C.G. many years ago and is likely to kick off again soon but The M.C.G. diggers may become overstretched.
Old Farts dig, is the one in the nearby pig field, no pigs @ the moment, I do not think it is currently being dug but when i made enquiries about taking the windlass, mister Jarratt told me him and his gang were about to start it up again in the winter.
Well mister Jarratt, we don't have proper winters anymore!

Correct,
also we have no-hoper cave digs that most, very, very, very, unexpectedly(especially by the diggers) suddenly turn into monster cave passage. :clap:

And brilliant digs that unfairly, and quite without permission, fill up with water.  :mad:

Correct. Also, we have Once in a Hundred Years floods every couple of weeks.

In Newspapers yesterday it was reported that a Geochelone pardalis has gone into hibernation, the last time the Geochelone pardalis hibernated was in roughy 1984 during the last big freeze,
:cautious:
Is this a warning of another big freeze ?
