DIARY NOTES

Hi Ged. Hope this mail finds you well. Was up in Ingleton the other Saturday trying to locate a cave called ‘ Dead Rabbit Cave ‘ my memory of the Cave that it was up the old quarry road and path to the waterfalls We had the guy from the quarry setting the explosives to enlarge the Passage . cant remember what or how far we pushed the cave forward Any way if you know of the cave please let me know Regards Colin Enright 07-10-08

Hi Colin the history of Dead Rabbit can be found in an extract from my book "Fifty Years on Storrs Common" ... LOL ... (click here)

20th October 2009

The Black Rose "young'uns" are back digging

in Lower Arch Cave on Storrs Common.

Hi Ged, this is Alex from the current Black Rose Caving Club. I just thought I would let you know, as I know this was your old dig before we took it over. After a six-year pause we have started digging it again! Well I have and am trying to get the others to join me. Removed about 5ft of sand so it’s 5 ft longer then the last log entry in 2003. Dunc should be updating the website as we progress (hopefully we will) so you can find out from him. I just thought I would drop you a line and let you know, as you may be interested in the news. P.S. The club is doing well now we have over 20 members, wow, he he. http://www.brcc.org.uk Kind regards, Alex Richie.

Next digging date is Sunday 8th of November 2009 - all welcome

(It would be nice to have a Master Cave "break-thru" after 50 years digging.)
