Northern SSSI Cave Conservation Monitoring Scheme

18/1/2010 - Upgraded this site to use the the latest version of Joomla and php 5.

Ireby Fell Cavern. A new raised and flagged footpath  from Masongill Lane has been constructed by cave conservation volunteers. This increasingly popular route was in a right state, but hard work and Natural England grant money have made a long term improvement which will benefit cavers and keep the landowner happy. See photos in the new photo galleries section.

Free Mouse Mat. Buy a copy of this months Descent Magazine and get your free Northern Caves Monitoring Project mouse mat featuring a famous cave passage( but where is it?). Thanks to Chris Howes at Descent for his help in making this happen on time and under budget.

Caves of Ingleboroughare now the priorty for recreational cavers to tackle for the SSSI caves monitoring project. The bulk of the assessments can be undertaken during the GG winch meet while the major routes are rigged. Thanks to everyone who helped out on the Whernside sssi caves- the only major omission is King Pot.

KIngsdale is a priority area for monitoring reports this spring- if you have made a recent trip ,a report from memory would be a usefull baseline for us.

Ravenscar cave has undergone a thorough clean up and stabalistion thanks to Lugger and his team of pressed men.

Surface Conservation Volunteers are currently working at Barbon Pot and Ravenscar Cave. If you want to help out call Andrew Hinde Tel 015242 42021.

Ingleton Middle Schoolwill be assisting the Cave Monitoring Project by visiting Ingleborough Cave in March to undertake a conservation monitoring report. The students will assess the condition of features of scientific interest within the show cave.
