Northern Round-up of Cave Exploration

30 minute Lecture|Dr Frank Pearson

Northern Round-up of Cave Exploration

Abstract

All year round cavers are digging into new caves and passages, diving into 'fresh' sumps and carrying out conservation work above and below ground. This lecture brings together all of the new exploration and conservation work in the north of England over the past year - in Lancashire, Cumbria, Durham, Northumberland and, let's not forget, Yorkshire! Diggers and divers of the wild north are relentless in their efforts to extend existing caves and find new ones. The search for the unknown on such a crowded isle is all about being down to earth and deep within it. Have a glimpse of the 'deep air's unmeasured (northern) wilderness'!
