British Caving Association The BCA is the governing body of British caving, and is responsible amongst other things for training, research, and access agreements. Cost of membership includes the provision of third party liability insurance.
British Caving Library The British Caving Library is a national research and reference library based in the Peak District, staffed by a part-time librarian. It is run by the British Cave Research Association (BCRA) on behalf of the British Caving Association (BCA), and offers facilities to all. It has an interesting audio archive.
CaveMaps.org A site maintained by Andy Powell that has become the definitive online resource for cave surveys of the Yorkshire Dales. The site has an excellent reference list of published surveys, many of which are are available online, as well as the start of a wide area survey where caves surveys are superimposed on Google Earth satellite images.
CNCC Access to many northern caves is administered through the Council of Northern Caving Clubs. Contact details may be found here.
Red Rose Hypertext Guide to Easegill Whilst laudable in its efforts, this doesn't work as well as it could. The descriptions are not always as precise or as helpful as they could be, and often propagate the mistakes of the guide books (much of it is copied word for word from Northern Caves). The formatting is also a little idiosyncratic. Nevertheless, some of it does cover ground not covered elsewhere, such as the Upper Trident Series, and it does have the benefit of being an on-line resource.
UK Caving Forum Although largely filled by spurious chit-chat, this is the best supported UK caving forum, and it occasionally hosts some worthwhile threads.
UK Caving Wiki This is a bit sparse at the moment, but has some very worthwhile sections, and it can only get better.
