-ROCKFALL IN THE AREA OF THE WATERFALL CLIMB, GB CAVERN +15th February 2023
- +
-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 ... +

-Dear Southern Cavers,+The gate at Compton martin Ochre Mine has needed replacement for some timeafter the old gate rusted away.
  
-It is with some relief that as from Monday 29th March that the national “stay at home” rule will endand the long path to a return to something like normality can begin. This 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 ...+This has now been completedso please remember to bring CSCC key if you are visiting.
