Photographers Comments
Due to working on new Garden at every possible dry day, I have not been able to get out with camera. So Im posting a few shots taken a while ago. This particular shot was from a caving trip we did in the Forest of Dean at beginning of November, the entrance is down through concrete rings for about 100 feet, as you can see the easiest way in is to abseil, and to climb back out using the fixed ladder. Image was taken using point and shoot camera with a remote flash held at arms length.

I have climbed all of Scotland's Munros (mountains higher than 3000 feet) including solo climbing the Cuillen ridge on Skye. But a few months ago I watched Kate Humble potholing on a BBC programme and I thought it was the scariest thing ever.

Hi Willie, the Kate Humble program was filmed in Dan yr Ogof in South Wales, the part of that program where she had to crawl though a section known as 'The Long Crawl' where she spent over a hour. I have already posted a image here, this is the 'Water trough' which is the start of the 'Long Crawl'.

I know I am weird... but when I looked at this thumbnail I thought it was a shot of an elephant with two chopsticks stuck in its eye. I must have had too many beers today. Take another look, if you can't see it.
