Swildon's Graffiti

Forgot to post this the week before last but some Tw@ by the name of Rob had recently scratched his name into the calcite flow at the bottom of the 20 in Swildons, we did our best to scrub it off with water from the streamway but it was still somewhat visible, it would be nice if someone could take a scrubbing brush to it in passing, I would hazard a guess it was kids who had nipped down someones ladder and wanted to record it for prosperity, it's a real shame that Swildon's seems to attract idiots like that.
 
record it for prosperity
Doubt he's going to make any money from it!

It will have been somebody waiting for the ladder, not thinking about what they are doing, it's really insignificant compared to the damage caused to Swildon's by generations of cavers (read HE Balch's & EA Baker's original write-ups about how beautiful the upper section used to be), but should be removed
