Luccombe Cave Carvings

[nobby8126]

Not exactly bushcraft but interesting non the less. I gathered up three of my boys and went exploring for Luccombe Cave Carvings. Had to judge the tides right and had a challenging route in (for the kids) . We saw a peregrine falcon on the cliff top and although the caves had mostly been carved by pilled up ravers in the 90's there was still some good work there.
I will be heading back to do a cave camp there as it would look great lit by flame.

Great vid, the kids and dogs all looked like they had a great time. Looking forward to see the cave camp.

As am I mate, Couple of pinecone candle will light it up a treat. Have to take the resident into account tho as when the tide is in I'll be stuck

What are you walking on? Any evidence under your feet of maybe paleo occupation?
I've never been in a cave that I can recall. Pit houses, concrete bunkers, yes but not a cave.
Very appealing camp site, too.

Thanks for that; great record. Unfortunately it brings back memories of when my springer could run along beaches and swim in the sea and rock pools before she went blind - only last summer!

No way in from the top?

No mate, all cliff. I think there is a shorter route in but you are still getting cut off by the tide

Imagine the paleo times when Doggerland was dry. The west coast of BC was 100+M lower than it is now.
Our First Nations (Heiltsuk) have 100% accurate oral histories that are confirmed village sites of 14,500 years ago.

Your cave must have been a magnificent home above high tide.

Good chance I suppose, tried to do some digging online last night but couldn't find anything
