 +The gate at Compton martin Ochre Mine has needed replacement for some time, after the old gate rusted away.
  
-From Charterhouse Caving Company Ltd+This has now been completed, so please remember to bring a CSCC key if you are visiting.
  
-At some point during the past six months, persons unknown have made an unauthorised attempt to rebolt the Rhino Rift Right-Hand Route+<btn>[[news:2022.06.01_compton_martin_gate|Read more ...]]</btn>
  
-This became known at the recent CSCC AGM and the route was inspected on Tuesday 18th May. Unfortunately, the work has been poorly executed using various types of expansion bolts. Some of these have not set properly and rotate within their holes. Some have been placed too close to the pre-existing spits, compromising the strength and safety of both the new and the original anchors. Where possible, all the nuts and hangers have been removed, although some could not be removed from some very poorly set bolts. Nothing could be done immediately about the dangerously placed ones and so this route should not be used until it can be fully rebolted by an approved installer using resin anchors ... +1st June 2022

-From Charterhouse Caving Company Ltd+Arrangements for future access are under discussion and will be available as soon as possible.
  
-ROCKFALL IN THE AREA OF THE WATERFALL CLIMB, GB CAVERN+**In the meantime all visits should be avoided.**
  
-Following the rockfall notified and publicised in early February, a further inspection trip was scheduled for 6 April, following the relaxation of covid restrictions. On 5th April, a report was received of a further fall. The inspection trip comprised Linda Wilson (Conservation Officer), Dave King and Graham Price (CCC Directors). A large area of the side of the passage above the big steps on the left hand side (when travelling into the cave, heading downstream) has come away, resulting in a massive, unstable talus cone of boulders, large rocks, smaller shattered rocks and mud that now completely covers the steps almost to the base of the ledge in the middle of the climb. Boulders and large rocks are spread over a wide area in the passage below the climb ...+<btn>[[news:2020_07_08_singing_river_mine_access|Read more ...]]</btn>

-Dear Southern Cavers,+From Mendip Cave Rescue
  
-It is with some relief that as from Monday 29th March that the national “stay at home” rule will end, and the long path to return to something like normality can beginThis means that it is no longer illegal to leave home without a valid excuse, though the government asks that we all minimise the number of journeys we make. From Monday 29th it is also permitted for up to 6 people, or two households, to meet outdoors and for people to take part formally organised outdoor sports ...+MCR has had to restructure itself and has reconstituted itself as a registered charityWith the new structure cavers who wish to continue supporting the MCR by being on the cavers call out list are invited to apply for associate membership ...
