#1 - That looks fantastic, really gives a sense of scale.
It almost looks like he's about to be abducted by aliens!!

 

[Digitall]

Very impressive

Saw the title and thought it was a thread about Yorkshire's cricket :bonk:

Great pics, all confirm to me you need to be

 

[alastairb]

thanks for the comments, and yes colinB i think i might be loopy!

So let me get this right,
you climb all the way down there, underground?

And then you climb all the way back up again?

Nice set #1 for me also

 

[alastairb]

yep chris pretty much!
Gaping Gill main chamber (#1) is very impressive when you are there, the photo doesn't do it justice!

 

[Cobra]

Gaping Gill main chamber (#1) is very impressive when you are there,

I am sure it is rather you than me though.
I don't mind confined spaces at all but being "deep underground" is not my idea of fun

Wow, No 1 - what a photo, well done

 

[Mrs Hesh]

Fantastic love the first one wow!!!!!

 

[alastairb]

Thanks for the replys, and yea I love 1 too.
I want to go back on a sunny day so the light from surface is more defined and also so I can use a faster shutter speed as 15 seconds is a little longer than I would have liked

Shot No 1 is really impressive... the others are good but 1 is easily the pick
well done
Chris

[hoseman-ade]

Climbing around in Gaping Gill`s Chamber !!! :nono: wondered if I was on the wrong forum...lol
Brilliant shots, love the beams of light shining down, tried caving in the black mountains in wales.....want keen !!! :nono:

 

[C&C]

Agree that No.1 is awesome, but I also really like No.6 as well. (Having said that, you'd still not catch me going down dark holes in the ground)!

 

[Robbie]

Number 1 is beyond good, you get a really good sense of scale.

 

[alastairb]

thanks for the comments!

 

[david1701]

stupidity is a sport?

:O

 

[Foggy]

I prefer the colour version of the first one - its only a bit of colour and I think it works really well.

 

[Kemble3]

I can’t see what motivates people to do this kind of sport but each to their own. Anyway, number 1 works for me, a cracking shot

 

[Grandslammer]

#1 definately has a touch of ''Descent'' about it
Must also be a coincidence that I'm watching "Cave" at the mo
