1. Mexico’s Cave of Crystals stunned geologists when it was first discovered in 2000. The underground chamber contains some of the largest natural crystals ever found – some of the selenite structures have grown to more than 10m long. Professor Iain Stewart got a rare glimpse of the subterranean spectacle while filming for the new BBC series How the Earth Made Us. 2. Iolo Williams goes underground to explore the landscapes within caves and old mines. With on-screen English subtitles. December 10th, 2009
Due to recent movements in the entrance series, Swildon’s Hole has been closed for a short period. More info on ukCaving. Following consultations, Robin Main the land owner, has decided to close Swildon’s Hole for a period of one month to see how things settle down in the entrance. Please stay away for now and respect the landowners decision. The latest information will be posted here as it becomes available. Les Williams <<<Update 9/1/10>>> Following further consultations at the end of the monitoring period and on the advice of CSCC, the cave will now be reopened. All persons are reminded that they enter the cave at their own risk and are advised to exercise considerable caution in the entrance area and are advised to consider avoiding the area around Showerbath Chamber.

After much deliberation, the committee have decided to go with ‘The Nativity’ as this year’s fancy dress theme for CHECC. So we don’t end up going as 20 wise-men, below is a list for you to choose your costume from. Leave a comment to bagsi a person/animal. Baby Jesus September 10th, 2009
Hidden Earth is coming down south this year to Mendip. For those who haven’t heard of it before it’s the UK’s annual caving conference hosted by the BCA, with plenty of talks, stalls, competitions, beer and a caving stomp. Dates are 25-27 September. Some of us from ACC will be going this year so if you want to go along then discuss at the social. Not sure who will be driving from Aber though. For more info, or to book in advance, their website is here. (Tickets can be bought on the door but are a little more expensive). |
