three leads. One up
a tight rift, one up another tight rift and the third one in the
floor. An excellent weekend’s exploration.This new chamber about
forty feet long and standing height, justifies our year of
infrastructure work.

Mick, Doug, Bill,
Martin, Kevin, Alan and Chris back for some more; this will be our
last dig till next year. We have mainly been excavating along a
tight tube, in the floor of the new chamber, (as yet unnamed). This
new tunnel is three metres long, we can see along for another three
metres but the way on is blocked by a large slab of rock, air very
fresh but no draught.
Kevin says Carcass
Cave is now 150 metres in length, that makes it about the 60th
longest Mendip cave; not bad for a badger hole!
I have been promised a copy of the new
survey of
Carcass
Cave by BDCC. Hopefully
this will appear in the next issue of the Journal.
CONVERT A STANDARD CAP
LAMP TO A 21 LED CAP LAMP FOR LESS THAN £7
Alan Gray
Introduction
I was informed that on E-bay a 12 LED
headlamp suitable for camping, climbing and caving was for sale for
£6. Whilst looking at this item I also noticed that the seller was
selling 21 LED torches, for £6. 5O, so I purchased one of each.
These were delivered, from Hong Kong in just 4 days with the cost of
packing and postage included in the purchase price.
On receipt of the torch I was surprised to find that it was very
well made, with an aluminium body and front lens cover. The light
output was fantastic. Its dimensions are - Length 9.5cm, Diameter of
lens 3.5cm. It is powered by three AAA size batteries that are
supplied.
