New Survey : St Georges, Montvalent, Lot, France.

We are a team from the UK. Over the last three years, we have been working in the St Georges Resurgence, Montvalent in the Lot department of France.

The aim of the project is survey this publicly accessible cave and produce a useful resource for cave divers. The project is on-going, but we now have sufficient information to publish an initial plan and section of the first two sumps. It is available to download from here :

https://www.dropbox.com/s/yfo7o0qxk3...1-500_v1.1.pdf

I hope anyone visiting the area will find it useful. Once the data has been digested and fully-checked for typos we will send it over to Cave Atlas & Plongeesout etc. so it can be made available more widely.

If you want to follow the progress of the project, we also have an open facebook group which you are welcome to join :

Yeah, we've already prewarned Sam. I'm sure you'll see more photos of France than you'd like soon from my facebooking better half.

Yes, I have been prewarned but the fact is when are you not talking about France? :-)

The rest of the team (sadly minus me) will be around for the week 27th Sept - 5th Oct, staying with Harald (CPS). John Kendall & Co. driving a silver Renault van. They are planning some dives at St Georges, Cabouy and some deeper stuff in St Saveur.

Please say hello if you bump into them, I'm sure they will be delighted to meet you.

I will leave France 20 Sept, and will be in the UK until 27 Sept. I am planning to dive in Wales, and Somerset that week. Maybe I will see you there :-)

It was a great trip. I will post a full report soon. We dove St George's and really enjoyed it, especially considering the vis.

If you're flying with British Airways in September be cautious with what you check. Two weeks before our trip Heathrow had a huge IT crash and thousands of bags were misplaced. We flew home last saturday and just received our bags today. The IT system apparently went down again. We've been restlessly waiting for a week to find out what was going on with our dive gear. Because it was an IT problem, the luggage couldn't be tracked at all. Kind of scary.
