Hi all,
My Dad loves to compile a quiz and has kindly compiled me a Mendip Cave quiz, I think I've managed to attach it to this post. I'll post the answers up next week :)

Managed 1 to 12, 17, (18 if it's a part of a cave), 20, 21, (possibly 22), 23, 25 & 27 so far. Helps if you know what a cleeve is. 13 is a bit obscure. (I hope Pete got 7!)

I think I have them all now! :D (if 18 is a part of a cave, and I'm a bit dubious on my answers for 15 and 30...)

I can't get 2  and I think the clue for 6 is dodgy because occidental refers to West rather than East and there is no West twin swallet.
My answers..
1. Eastwater Cavern.
2. -
3. Flower Pot.
4. GB Cavern.
5. Pearl Mine.
6. East Twin Swallet. ?
7. Reservoir Hole.
8. Pierre's Pot.
9. Goatchurch Cavern.
10. St Cuthbert's Swallet

There aren't that many bird named holes to choose from!

Although I'm not sure 5 is correct.

I can only go with Hawks Nest for number 2.
Or Hawks Eyrie?  ;) ;) What the hell.. just guessing. Wish someone would tell me though it's killing me!  :eek:
