| Ten New Interviews Added to the Audio Archives |
Date added: 26 Oct 2011 |
|
As many cavers are aware, Clive Gardener has for many years been working on 'Searching for the Secret River' - a film and associated book project, 'Exploring The Caves of Llangattock Mountain' - documenting subterranean exploration beneath the mountain. As part of this exercise he recorded a number of interviews with people who have made significant contributions to the explorations, and he has generously made some of these available on the Audio Archives. The quality of the interviews and the quality of the recordings are superb, and well worth a listen. The following are now available: Brian Price: The discovery and naming of Agen Allwedd
Mel Davies: The first excavation of Upper Trident Passage in Agen Allwedd
Paul Hartwright: The discovery of Summertime in Agen Allwedd
Clive Westlake: The creation of the Grand Circle in Agen Allwedd
John Parker: Discovery of the Hall of the Mountain Kings, Ogof Craig a Ffynnon
Bill Gascoine: Determining the hydrology of the limestones of South Wales
Ian Rolland: Explorations beyond St. David's Sump in Daren Cilau
Steve Pedrazzoli: Unravelling the Mysteries of Llangattock Mountain
Rob Parker: The discovery and naming of the Seventh Hour Sump in Daren Cilau We have also added a recording of Dr. John Wilcock talking about dowsing. See http://www.caving-library.org.uk/audio/mostrecent.php. |
