Hi folks,
I'm off on my hols down to the Lyme Regis area next week and i was wondering if anyone knows of anywhere interesting to head underground that way? I've spotted Beer Quarry Caves but they look like that's tourist trips only- is that right or is there access for cavers/mine explorers too?

thanks! :flowers:

The Stone mines at Beer (Beer is a place OK :lol: ) you have to pay, it's a public one or there's the old railway tunnel at Sidmouth (the cliff fell down and gave access to it.

Enjoy

PS :offtopic: but I was on my way to the Folk Festival at Sidmouth and looked on a diving web site to find out if there were any decent shore dives to do there and the best thing the divers' had to say about it was there was a folk Festival :lol: No matter I used the cylinder to inflate my bed!

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.
