Welcome to the first newsletter of the Council of Southern Caving Clubs! Our aim is to produce a digital newsletter at least three times a year to keep members up to date with the work of CSCC and its officers and provide news from around the region. With caving restarting, if your club has anything you would like to publicise, please let us know , for example whether your club hut, if you have one, is open to visitors. This is a new venture for CSCC so please help us shape future newsletters by letting us know the sort of content you would like to see and what would be useful to you. The CSCC website contains up to date information from around the region and news is also posted to the CSCC Facebook page . Please check out both of these resources. Clickable links have been found not to work with all browsers. For that reason, there's a separate links section at the end of the newsletter. If the email links don't work for you, try using the 'View this email in your browser' option at the top of the newsletter and then clicking the links. CSCC AGM - 7pm 14th May 2021 The AGM will be held by Zoom. A link will be circulated shortly on the traditional email list, so please CSCC Newsletter - May 2021 1 of 13 keep a watch for that.

  • Mells River Sink — a Spelaeological Curiosity in East Mendip, Somerset

    Mells River Sink — a Spelaeological Curiosity in East Mendip, Somerset

    93 Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc, 1982, 16 (2), 93-104. MELLS RIVER SINK — A SPELAEOLOGICAL CURIOSITY IN EAST MENDIP, SOMERSET by W. I. STANTON ABSTRACT The site is a cleft in the side of the Mells River that acts as a resurgence in winter and a swallet in summer. An excavation, 1974-78, began 21m above, and ended 2m below, river level. It showed (hat a high-leve! resurgence was active in the Middle Devensian, and was buried under later deposits. Scattered finds of archaeological significance included Woolly Rhinoceros bones and a First Century bronze brooch. Water tracing experiments proved that the Sink is the upper end of an active underground oxbow to the Mells River, 2.5 km long. The cleft was developed along a neptunian dyke of Lower Lias age. Bubbling springs and 'cave, coral" are briefly discussed. INTRODUCTION The Mells River rises at Gurney Slade and flows east below the north flank of the Mendips to join the River Frome at Frome. It receives water from the Carboniferous Limestone resurgences of Winter Well, Gurney Slade, Ashwick Grove, St. Dunstan's Well, Whitehole, Cobby Wood, Hapsford and other smaller springs (Barrington and Stanton, 1977). Some of these resurgences fail in dry weather, and one of them, Mells River Sink, is so close to the river bed that, at times, the spring flow actually reverses and part of the river disappears down the hole. In the drought summer of 1976 about one quarter of the Mells River was lost into Mells River Sink. At the village of Mells the Mells River leaves undulating low ground to enter a wooded gorge (Wadbury Valley) incised by super imposed drainage into the north flank of East Mendip (Barrington and Stanton, 1977, p 220).

This work has tended to con­ centrate on two particular aspects of cave development: firstly, the problem of the "phreatic network" caves, variously regarded as Tertiary relicts or products of polje-margin processes; and secondly, the question of the development of the regional drainage system. The present study attempts to resolve the question of "phreatic network" cave formation (see 7.2) and applies the methods detailed in Chapter 6 to specific cave'systems in an effort to understand the role of these caves in the overall development of the drainage system (see 7.3 and 7.4). Finally, an attempt is made to synthesise these findings into a model of the palaeohydrological development of the whole region (see 7.5). 7.2 The "phreatic network" caves 7.2.1 Introduction Certain of the caves within the Morecambe Bay area have been regarded as unique in terms of their method of formation.

Printed words are replaced by emitted grunts. Irate letter writers pretend an inoffensive innocence. People who have been corresponding regularly suddenly find that they cannot recognise each other. However, surveyors are readily identifiable by the stadia marks up their arms and the cross-hairs in their eyeballs.
