Title: Discretion....

So there's us not naming certain places for fear of upsetting landowners and fucking up future access.....

whilst this hero is spunking his adventures across the Daily Mail.... various sensitive sites not only showing in images but also named.

Interesting to read that many of the places have been 'untouched for decades' - I must have imagined being in them myself!

Is there any way to educate (perhaps an alternative word would be suffocate) these glory hunters?

Aditnow were running the same thread and I think they know who it is (actually I am sure they do).

Not much you can do except, perhaps, shoot them?

Yes Ian I did have a rant on AN as well.

Much to my amusement, someone commented to say that when the asked said illustrious explorer the location of a particular photo he would not reveal.... but was quite happy to spunk it in the Daily Hate Mail. Sums it up really. Am I allowed to say "twat" on the forum?

What a complete idiot exposing and naming these mines!


This made me laugh,  Hendre Fluorospar Mine, Wales. Antonio said: 'The safety procedures we use are very well known in the cave and mine exploring communities'

So you take newbies down there with no life line or harness!

Twattery of the highest order. May Karma's large, precariously balanced anvil fall swiftly and silently.
