• Descent 305 - Pre-order is open!!

    Our August/September issue has a publication date of 2 August, and it is a special summer bumper issue full of stories of exploration and wonder from the underground world.

Stumbled across this little gem.

The Eldon voted at an AGM a couple of years ago to make all our surveys open source. 

Seems little point not sharing the information freely as it would surely hamper the development and exploration of systems.

Not that I condone the sharing of copyright material of course.

Sam,

Shouldn't you as a moderator, 

remove the link to the copyrighted material in Duncan Price's post above?

Otherwise you are condoning the sharing of copyrighted material

Beardy is quite right and I am infringing copyright by posting the link to copyrighted material hosted without permission on the internet.  I really ought to have known better and would be grateful if the moderators could redact the link in question.  Sorry. :ang:
 
Duncans report didn't explicitly ask for the link to be removed.

It just stated out that the link points at some copyrighted material.  As did yours Beardy.  ;)

Now removed as requested (Mark beat me to it).
 
No copyrighted material hosted on https://proxybay.bz/, its just text files......

What people do with those text files is up to them!

Surely a hyperlink is just text, if people choose to click on then that's their choice and risk. Down with this censorship ;)
 
Dear UKCaving

We at Dankness Below would like to apologize for the recent downtime of the website and general lack of updates. We have unfortunately been the victim of a vicious DDOS attack, originating from an IP address somewhere in the Bristol area. We have good reason to assume that this is from our rival publication, Blackness Underneath (or whatever it's called).  We have upgraded our security systems so we expect it to be several months before Dimness Further Down (or whatever it's called) is successful again. New content will be available soon.

We will not let the terrorists win.

Seems the Media Moguls have got bored, and opened up another social media outlet.  :coffee:


(Clue the outlet could be ?500,000 poorer in the near future.)
 
NORMAL SERVICE HAS RESUMED

We at Dankness Below bring you breaking news regarding Ogof Dreary and the real reason why the new entrance was filled in.

http://www.danknessbelow.co.uk/2018/10/rogue-danknessbelow-staff-fill-in-draenan-entrance-to-prevent-spread-of-weaponised-bats-to-the-north

We appreciate you may already have a view on this story, informed in part by the illustrious publication that is the BCA newsletter (read by over 12 people!), but here at Dankness Below we take a less biased view and will not try to sell you a book, so please give us a chance.

We dont offer a subscription service, however one of our under 50s on the team (youths) has set up a "facebook" page. They have advised us to employ the strategy of "treat them Meme, keep them keen", so we are running a competition for the CZECH forum where we try to get you, our readers, to produce our content for us. The super fantastic ultimate prize, we have been assured, is worth at least a fraction of the UKCaving one. However we do promise not to get pissy about it when you don't mention us, after your deserved victory.

I would send you a link, but I dont know how to do it.

Great to see a few more on-the-money strikes again by the DB crew this week, whoever they are.  :clap2:  :lol:
 
2 observations:

The pints are light in Mendip - but then again missing out on the 68ml of cider is probably beneficial to the overall health benefits of the regime.

Are bonus points awarded if the brown bath bomb bubbles up out of the neck of your wetsuit?

:thumbsup:
 
Love the keep fit regime.
Could add a Northern Dales Maze Cave one....

Have a massive Full English Breakfast then crawl round a crazy paved patio for an hour using the cracks for direction. When exhausted open five bottles of Theakstons Old Peculiar and collapse in a heap.

Genuinely laughed until it hurt.

Wrong, the exercise is given a a "500g weight". Based on my beermat mathematics1, a pint of ~90% ethanol solution would be the equivalent of 500g2.

ABV 90% is what Mendippers call a "session scrumpy".

2.Obviously this doesn't include the 335g weight of the standard nonic pint glass itself but who's counting?
