Descent (120)
October 1994
The Pot in the Bed of the Clydach
Was it called the Whirly Pool, the Pool in the Valley, or the Pool of Dogs? What was the origin of the name of Pwll-y-Cwm, found in a South Wales gorge?
Canary Caves
Fancy a change of climate and the chance to explore some lava tubes? Then it’s off to the Canary Islands with Pete Glanvill.
Five Have Fun in Mexico
Back to explore Cuetzalan, but the caves are fighting back with a vengeance. What’s it like watching water rise by a metre every fifteen minutes, from inside the cave?
A Date for a Cave
Dating archaeological remains is fine, but how can the cave itself be dated? By taking samples ... but what does that doe to the cave itself? Perhaps a code for collecting is needed.
The Pirates of Fountains Fell
Here we have a simple tale of ordinary folk happily and with friendly rivalry investigating the wet sinks of Fountains Fell. Join Jim Eyre for the concluding part of his story.
