Tim (and anyone else interested),

here are some references from my card index to the Northern Pennine Club
library and my own collection. I stopped maintaining these indices a while
ago in the hope of computerising them, so none are recent...

Dowsing
  DSG 'Speleologist' 2 (Dec 1953) pp 55-60

Diving
  Craven Pothole Club Journal 2(3) pp 157-8

Underground water, divining & geology
  Transactions of the Cave Research Group of GB 6(1) pp 1-18

An electrostatic theory of divining
  Cave Research Group of GB Newsletter 102 (1966) pp 10-12
    "       "     "    "  "      "     104        p 14

Divining behind Black Keld
  University of Leeds Speleological Association Review 4 pp 29-30

Divining and the Mossdale problem
  University of Leeds Speleological Association Review 5 pp 15-17

I'd suggest scanning through "Current Titles in Speleology" for anything
else since about 1973. This, of course, would be much easier if your
computer could do it for you, but when I suggested making it available on
disc to [whoever does it nowadays] at a BCRA conference, I got an
unhelpful reply verging on the downright offensive. So I guess you'll just
have to wade through twenty-odd thick paper volumes :-(

I'm sure the Bradford published downsing maps of the area behind
Brackenbottom, but these don't seem to be in my index...
