I ran across this site while I was doing some family history research on sites
about the Staffordshire area. Thought it might be interesting to see something
from across the pond. In addition to being an all-round good site, they've got
some really great pics on the site.

All this talk about other-than-underground caving reminds me of an
incident that occurred a few weeks ago. Will Harris, Bill Steele and
I took a group of four young women from the Metroplex to Austin to
introduce them to underground caving. BTW, many thanks to Julie

If you enjoy watching caving programs in HD, I would have to recommend getting
the HDTV package from Dish Network. I mentioned a program earlier this summer
about base jumping in Golondrinas, but the programs are getting much better.
Last night's program was called Mountainous Sky Caves and

Whatever is still usable by someone (cheap, broke, student) might well be

Hey, good summary, Bill! This was a hard trip. Maybe James's trip was the
hardest in Texas since 1990--and after coming out and sleeping for 3 hours, he
did a marathon drive to Zacaton. For the rest of us, it could be the hardest
trip with a four-hour nap in the middle. ;) I think I remember being
Here's another hard Texas caving trop to throw out there: the end of the
upstream passage in Powell's Cave. If I remember the story correctly, the
beginning of that passage had been explored and mapped by Texas cavers in the
60s, but they didn't have wetsuits back then, so they reached their

For the past year or so, several cavers including myself
have posted news of new headlamps on the market.
Just yesterday, I posted 2 new headlamps.
As many of us predicted, the perfect headlamp would
be on the market in the very near future.
Well - it got here sooner than expected.

I have to agree with that assessment. I used one as a field
