Exploration Exploration Most mountains have been climbed, almost every inch of the world has been explored and mapped, and what's left isn't much of a mystery thanks to satellite photos. BPC members are at the forefront of cave exploration both at home and abroad.
Exploration continues apace on many fronts, both above and below water.
Recent finds in the Dales include Fat Finger Pot, Henslers Pot and Christmas Cracker. Every year the club holds a winch meet at Gaping Ghyll, where exploration is pursued with great vigour. For three weeks, Gaping Gill, on the flanks of Ingleborough is the centre of BPC activity. Experienced cavers take advantage of all the entrances to this system being rigged, allowing them to undertake long and arduous exploration trips, as well as 'fun' through trips without having to carry gear. The other facet of BPC exploration is undertaken by the Club cave divers.
