-Welcome to the new-look CSCC Website. For comparison here is the [[http://www.cscc.org.uk/indexNonWikiSite.htm|Previous Website]]

+<panel type="primary" title="Access to caves in Cheddar Gorge">
+Further to the decision by Longleat to close the show caves and suspend their operations in Cheddar, they have notified CSCC that with immediate effect caver access to all caves on Longleat property which includes the whole south side of the Gorge, is no longer available. This includes all caves and digs, and affects sites such as Reservoir Hole, Spider Hole, Goughs Cave, Long Hole, Great Oones etc.
-The new site is based upon a Wiki. That means the updates can be done by a larger number of people (currently the Officers), rather than just the webmaster. By removing that bottleneck the site should be more comprehensive and up to date.
+Longleat are not adverse to reinstating caver access subject to an access agreement with CSCC. Negotiations to formalise an access procedure were started at the request of Longleat a few years ago but were never concluded.
+Discussions have recommenced and both parties are hopeful of a favourable and positive outcome, however in the meantime all the caves are closed.
+Longleat will be keeping a presence in the Gorge for maintenance purposes, but this is all. Approaches should not be made to Longleat or any of their representatives as permission to visit any of the caves will be denied.

+As far as CSCC is aware, all caves closed as a result of the coronavirus lockdown are now open.
+Restrictions may apply to some caves whilst the virus is still prevalent in the community and it is important to respect the wishes of landowners in this regard.
+Access requirements for specific sites can be found in the [[https://access-guide.cscc.org.uk|Access Guide]].
