Descent 302 is published on 15 February and it will soon be on its way to our subscribers.
In the newsdesk, read a review of the underground events at Kendal Mountain Festival, plus tales of cannibalism and the Cavefish Asteroid.
In regional news, we have three new connections in Ogof Agen Allwedd, a report on the iron mines of Anjou, an extension to Big Sink Cave in the Forest of Dean, a new dig in Yorkshire's Marble Steps Pot, student parties, an obituary for Tony Boycott, a tight find in the Peak District and a discovery in County Kerry with extensive formations.

Visited the tunnel today at about 10am.
Wellys needed for water and icky mud on entrance before the dam after which is just water not very deep as long as you walk on the sides and not in the dip in the middle. Strange brick 'pool' just inside about 2ft deep. The tunnel isnt very high, I was stooping a lot and I am only 5'4. Various supports put in some way down the middle. We fed and watered the panther, nice little kitty really... Took a couple of tunnel shots which I hope to point url's to or upload to the gallery later, sadly only two pictures take as the camera was dropped by its owner and the lens inside went all wobbly, not a cheap camera but a very professional one, should be repairable. We didnt spent a lot of time in the tunnel, we left, the gate was locked on exit.
We also located goatchurch cavern were we met the mighty Andy Sparrow, appologies to the chap trying to give a briefing I intrupted. Nice to meet you Mr Sparrow Sir
We ambled in following behind the group for our first look (not really being cavers) nice place. I think I heard Cap 'n Chris's voice!? at one point! We did a little loop inside coming out of the Tradesmans's entrance with the help of the rope I asume the group behind us had installed. Enoyed that, will be returning!

You can only see the full size pictures if your logged in as a registered user. However below the image is a link 'view for a 1024x768 screen', use that if your a guest to see biggest picture. Good photos, camera sat on a stone while light painting with cap lamps.

Hi Rooty-tooty - superb pics of the Adit. Yep, I was down Goatchurch all day so popped up to quickly say "Hi!" to a surprised DPer before lurking off into the darkness once again....

Sorry dp, i would have liked to have gone, but I was too busy. Glad you had a good time though.
As you like mines and other man-made tunnels, I think you would like Sandford Levy as well. Details are in Mendip UG, access easy to gain.
