Useful Caving Websites
Below are a number of links to useful Caving websites...
- CaveMaps.org is an extremely useful site that contains a large amount of surveys for caves and potholes in the North of England (many of which are BCC surveys). It also contains integration with google maps and has markers for cave entrances overlaid onto a satelite image using GPS positioning. Another interesting feature is that numerous surveys have been overlaid onto google maps satelite images and you can visibly see the location / direction of the cave passageways. Overall an extremely useful site for any serious caver.
- UK Caving is a good Caving site that contains a forum, and also has a caving wiki. You can post caving related questions in the forums where you will usually get a prompt answer, and the wiki contains a wealth of information on caves in the UK.

- Inglesport offers a very good range of products, click through to the site to have a browse.
- Bernie's also has a good collection of Caving gear.
