DOWN UNDER ALL OVER SRGWA Things have been quiet in Western Australia although the Group has still been continuing with their usual trip-a-month programme. During November/December Robert and Norman Poulter spent a month visiting Thailand. While there they managed to visit several caves in the north and south of the country and captured numerous biological specimens both on the surface and underground. All specimens have been lodged with the Australian Museum and copies of the collection list sent to one of the universities in Thailand with which Norm was liaising. The Group is currently planning an expedition to the Kununurra region of WA where caves have been rep~rted that do not appear in the Australian Karst Index.

  • Hydrochemical Studies in Swildon's Hole, Priddy, Somerset
    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc., 2007, 24 (2), 121-175 HYDROCHEMICAL STUDIES IN SWILDON’S HOLE, PRIDDY, SOMERSET By R.D. STENNER, D. COOKE, K. GLENTON, A.V. KNIGHTS, M. MacDONALD, F.L. STENNER, L. WILLIAMS, and J. WILLIAMS ABSTRACT A detailed and comprehensive study was made of the hydrochemical properties of the streams flowing through Swildon’s Hole in 1999 and 2000 with additional data being collected in 2002 to permit the inclusion of data from a “normal” dry summer. Measurements were made and water samples were collected in the cave and from the surface streams feeding it. The aim was to measure the concentrations of all ionic species present in the samples in significant levels (accuracy and precision being checked by calculating ion balances). For each sampling trip in the cave it was possible to calculate progressive increments of total hardness and discharge as the stream flowed through the cave. These increments took place as water from the various stream inlets joined the Main Stream. Seasonal changes were assessed in the characteristics of many of the “drip and trickle” inlets. Although many properties showed low variability, data for aggressiveness were particularly instructive. In most inlets beyond Rolling Thunder, pronounced seasonal changes of aggressiveness were found. These changes were consistent with independent observations concerning levels of carbon dioxide in the air in the cave. In addition, all of the inlets beyond Rolling Thunder are contaminated with nitrate, chloride, sodium and potassium, strongly indicating the presence of contamination by human or animal waste. At the six inlets beyond Rolling Thunder as far as Sump I, the presence of faecal bacteria was confirmed.

    WESSEX CAVE CLUB Journal No. 118, Vol. 10. August 1968 CLUB NEWS At meetings held on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th July, the Committee formally accepted a tender of £2,895 from Messrs. C. Packham (Contractors) of Timsbury for the erection of the shell of the Club's New H.Q. Upper Pitts. After the necessary formalities have been concluded with the builders and Department of Education and Science, it is hoped that work on the site will start following August 1st. The contractor estimates that the construction of the shell should take about eight weeks. S. Causer is the only Club member authorised by the Committee to consult with the site foreman and labourers during the contracted building programme. All other members are urged not to interfere with the smooth running of the construction works since we are hoping that the job will be completed by mid-October next for members to inspect prior to, or after, the Club Annual General Meeting. Please co-operate. This year's A.G.M. will take place on Saturday 19th October at Priddy Village Hall, starting at 3.0.p.m. prompt. Attention is drawn to Club Rules Nos 5 and 18, which state:- "5 That the affairs of the Club shall be conducted by a Committee which shall consist of a Chairman, Honorary Treasurer, Honorary Secretary, Honorary Assistant Secretary, Gear Curator and nine other members who shall retire annually and be eligible for re- election, and that the Honorary Secretary of any group within the Club be eligible to attend a committee meeting in an ex officio capacity, and may nominate a substitute to any meeting which he cannot attend personally.

  • Eighty Years of British Caving J. D. Hanwell
    THE CHIEF Since 1971 there has been a change. Perhaps it is because improving tech­ niques have lessened the commitment necessary to do big walls, that the commitment of climbers to this aspect of the Chief has reduced. The old Squamish clique has largely scattered (some to the higher ranges) and the area is being viewed more as a spring climbing and practice ground than a complete climbing environment. Short, high-standard free routes have become the focus of innovation here as elsewhere, but it remains to be seen to what extent this will maintain the old Chief in the centre of the spotlight. 38 Gaping Ghyll Main Chamber 39 Martell descending Gaping Ghyll Both reproduced from 'Irelande et Cavernes Anglaises' by E. A. Martel, 1897 110 Eighty years of British cavmg J. D. Hanwell British caves now total over 300 km of known and largely mapped underground passages. No individual length or depth records can be claimed on a global scale, although the 37 km network of Ogof Ffynnon Ddu in S Wales creeps into the top 10 to date. However, it hardly stands comparison with the 232 km Flint Ridge-Mammoth Cave labyrinth in the United States. As might be ex­ pected, the vertical depth of British caves is puny against those in alpine areas. France, the birthplace of speleology, still boasts the deepest caves; Gouffre de la Pierre St Martin in the Pyrenees and Gouffre Berger beneath the Vercors plateau near Grenoble being the only two yet to bottom the 1000 m level be­ low their entrances.
