Cave temp is always very stable year round - usually due to very little air movement..Nice images, was it warmer in there then outside?
The air temp was warmer but we weren't that far from the surface so the water was at surface temperature which was BalticNice images, was it warmer in there then outside?
Thanks, I had some expert help with the lighting and it really made a difference but did involve a lot of faffing about, the guy balanced above the pool got a good 30 minute core workoutI like the 2nd shot better out of the two. Just because there's a bit more cave on show. You've done well with the lighting.
Thanks, it's Long Churn / Alum potTwo nice shots but i prefer the 2nd one. What cave system was it?
Wait till you start looking at Exploration Cave Diving.... Thats another level... lolGreat stuff.
Although I should stop looking at these as they send me off down a YouTube rabbit hole ending up at Nutty Putty which reinforces my decision to never go near anything like this.
You are more likely to be injured driving to and from the caves. It's nothing like the movies but then life rarely isWhenever I see caving photos or videos I sometimes think of the horror movies the descent.
I'm happy to take folks somewhere easy but it does need a certain amount of fitness. Most caves are "downhill" on the way in so it takes a lot more effort to get out on the return than it did to get in.interesting stuff, wouldn't mind giving it a go. Though I should probably look into shedding some weight first and getting fit.
That's always the worry isn't it, in case you can't climb back up/out.I'm happy to take folks somewhere easy but it does need a certain amount of fitness. Most caves are "downhill" on the way in so it takes a lot more effort to get out on the return than it did to get in.
Yeah but caves aren't full of people who couldn't get out, it's the best motivationThat's always the worry isn't it, in case you can't climb back up/out.
That's why prefer mountains to some extent the can always go back down the way you came
well they either got out or no one has dug up the skeletons yetYeah but caves aren't full of people who couldn't get out, it's the best motivation
A couple of caving clubs, the Bradford and the Craven, run winches on Spring bank and August bank holidays and they light up the chamber fairly well. It does get busy so you need to get up there early.well they either got out or no one has dug up the skeletons yet
I'd like to photograph Gaping Gill at the minimum.... one day...
