On 11/05/03 some kit was removed from inside the Resurgance entrance to Carlswark Cavern. Be aware that you may be being watched. The group involved were only in the cave for about 10 minutes, when they came back out... no gear.

Vandalism in Carlswark Cavern

Report FromRalph Johnson.

Sadly I have to report an incredible amount of damage in Eyam Passage. Quite a large section of the calcite floor has been damaged and parts removed. There are peices the size of dinner plates scattered around the area. This is NOT accidental damage - the culprits must have gone in equiped with the necessary tools. It would appear that this vandalism has occured within the last few days.
