About this site

Hello

I'm a caver and a member of the Morley Potholing Club and this website is a pet project of mine. My day job is in the IT sector but doesn't involve website coding, however I suppose I should class web coding as a hobby. Combining my two hobbies wasn't too big a step.

I've been tinkering with the format of the site for a little while. For now, this first incarnation is to provide an easily searchable list of caves with reference to 3rd party websites with more details

I hope you find it useful.

Stuart
