    Journal No. 39 April 1953 FOREWORD Your Committee arc seriously perturbed about the condition of some of the club tackle. In the last issue of the Journal mention was made of certain damage to a rope -ladder and it has now been found that another is in an even worse state. Both of these ladders were fairly new and the damage is definitely not "fair wear and tear". It has therefore been decided that there must be more control over the tackle, and in the future it will only be available by booking and obtaining a key from the Gear Curator, Peter Harvey, or failing this from the Hon. Sec. David Willis reports that his recent club trip to Swildons did not attract a single member and although he is quite willing to continue to run club trips, suggests that it would be a great help if members who are interested in visiting any particular cave would get in touch with the Hon. Sec. so that trips on suitable dates can be arranged. We would like to congratulate Willie Station, Howard Kenney, Do nald Thomson, Phil Davies and Oliver Lloyd on the recent discovery of about 700 ft of new passages in Swildons. It should be mentioned that at the moment it is not possible for members of "comfortable girth" to get into the series (as a 'yard stick' we may mention that David Willis found he could only just get through), but it is gathered that modifications will be made in the future to enable the more 'normal types' to pass the tight spot, and we hope that it will then be possible to arrange a club trip to the discovery.

    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.

CLUB NEWS There is a feeling among Committee Members that much of the discussion ought to be extended to the general membership. On the whole the Committee has worked harmoniously over the last few years, but last meeting feelings ran high when some Members started wagging their fingers and beards at others whom they thought contributed less to the Club than was politic. The accused shifted nervously from one buttock to the other, while others, caught in the crossfire, sided one way or the other.

  • 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.
