We caved and we went

Caving or potholing creates all sorts of images in the minds of those who’ve never tried it with thoughts of tight and narrow spaces bringing on feelings of claustrophobia.  And so it was with our party last Sunday.  Most were apprehensive, even fearful, about what to expect, but Long Churn is an ideal beginners cave. Almost immediately, it was evident that the winding passages are roomy with beautiful, water smoothed walls and rock sculptures. And although there are some tighter spaces, deeper into the cave, they can be avoided or are exciting enough to allow people to forget their fears. 

Caving

We’re going caving tomorrow.  It’s a few years since we’ve been, despite once spending a lot of our time underground, but age, family life and a lack of time mean by necessity, hobbies have to change.  We’re only going to Long Churn as we’re taking colleagues from work, but it’s a nice easy beginners (or retirees) cave  and hopefully, the party will enjoy it.  I’m intending to take a small camera so all being well, I will be able to capture some photographic evidence of the adventure as I and others will inevitably fall into a plunge pool or two
