  GENUKI: Flamborough Parish information from Bulmers' 1892.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Still more interesting are the caverns, three of which, from their greater extent, have received distinctive names.
According to one tradition he was an honest mariner, who was driven into the cave by the fury of a tempest and providentially saved; but according to another he was a pirate or smuggler, who made use of the cave as a place of concealment for himself and his plunder.
Another cavern bears the name of The Dove Cote, from the rock pigeons which breed here; and the Kirk Hole was so named from a belief which formerly prevailed that it extended as far as the church, three quarters of a mile distant.

Bulmer Cavern is located on the southern slopes of Mt Owen in the vicinity of Bulmer Lake.
Daniel and Phil flew to Bulmer Lake in a helicopter with the majority of the gear, whilst the rest of the gear and people headed down to Owen River to begin the walk in.

Bulmer's fruit bat (Aproteles bulmerae) was unique to the mountains of New Guinea.
At an altitude of 7,500 feet, this cathedral-like cavern, with its virtually unclimbable walls, was accessible only to the most daring of traditional hunters in times past.
Although Bulmer's fruit bat may have been unusually vulnerable to human predation, continued disturbance in any bat roost may prove highly detrimental.

Bulmer Cavern is New Zealand's longest cave, with around 50 km of passages surveyed to date.
With the whiff of the entrance in his nostrils there was no holding Kieran back, and he made good time to Panorama Entrance, assisted by numerous additional handlines which had been installed over some of the scary traverses and climbs.
There were some minor hiccups, as you would expect on an operation of this size, but generally people worked very well and did what was required to make the rescue happen.

 Rigging Information
Commuter rigging is being used increasingly, because major vertical caves like Tomo Thyme and Bulmer Cavern require dozens of excursions to complete their exploration, and the ropes may be left in place for months or even years.
The amount of extra rope needed depends on the complexity of the rigging and the number of anchors and re-anchors, as well as whether any rope is needed for tying back from the secondary (back-up) anchor to the primary anchors at the pitch head, which could be 5-10 metres away.
For example,in Bulmer Cavern, the Lion Heart pitch is 44 metres, and the Lion Tamer pitch is 34 metres, with a back-up about five metres from the pitch-head.

Ken Bulmer offered to donate the surplus funds remaining from that brief period when, shortly before its demise, the London Circle had been formally organised.
The Beatles were only one of a number of groups in what was a thriving local music scene in Liverpool at this time, a scene that Bill Harry was fascinated by and, having had experience in fanzines, one he got the idea to publish a magazine about.
Bulmer wrote back explaining that the original offer had been made to save what had turned out to be a non-existent collection, and that it was not transferable to the new award.
