Hidden Earth 2026
Redhouse Lane Swallet - 2026 extensions
45 minute Lecture|Tim Nichols
Abstract
Since Hidden Earth 2025 we have put a huge amount of effort in pushing the many leads and digs in the cave. Weeks' worth of trips have seen one promising lead after another disappoint. Despite this, around a kilometre of new cave has been found, including some stunning formations and a continuation of the main streamway. Further we have discovered via radio-location a new cave in the Symonds Yat cliffs where we now have a voice and smoke link. Once connected this will realise a fantastic through trip as well as an all weather entrance. This presentation will feature new and unreleased video footage of the latest exploration from our Redhouse videographer, the Adventure Traveller.
