phenomenal

I would probably turn around if I noticed heavier breathing due to CO2 levels. Great video thank you

Crippens that was a long day and quite the adventure. 12 hours caving if I recall correctly. I stashed a beer by the ofd2 entrance on the way in and enjoyed it in the dark on the way down the hill afterwards. Good times.

Oh gosh mud

Nice video I appreciate it very much. For some reason the editing only allowed each shot to last about 2-3 seconds which was a little bit jarring. Also I’m wondering was this really a cave? Or was it moreso that you mined out a path in a porous area

Love the 🎶 very clever

Great video thanks

Great video and so good to see this again, I did this as a student in the early 80s and it's been just a memory till I saw this!

Wow 😮 If it’s the same John Gunn (Ben Gunn as we called him), then I was one of the Didsbury/PDHS/Magpie lot who caved with him in the early 1970s. I think it was 1973 that we first went into Water Icicle Mine. I have some photos of him and Ady Pearce in there and at Waterfall Swallet, a lot of memories 😀

Such an under appreciated series. Well done on these videos

Now thats what i'm talking about, absolutely fantastic. I know the area and the valley very well, what a great day out even though very challenging in places.

Enjoyed my first trip into Peak Cavern this weekend just gone. We got to Ink Sump, and that clear water was very enticing. What an incredible amount of time effort and perseverance making this happen. Thank you for sharing!

Beautifully made and very informative video. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. I just spent the day exploring this remarkable cave system with my father and brother. The mainstream was indeed entering as a thundering torrent today like you mentioned. As we approached, we could feel the winds and hear it cascading down long before we could see it. Next time we would love to explore the muddy link passage! Have you explored this yet? Cheers, Troy :)

your lifes work is good. ty for sharing it

Very cool, where are you now?

thalassophobia and claustophobia all rolled up in to one.. efficient i will give you that XD

Have you ever considered visiting White Scar Caves? The showcave is massive, but nearby there are many lesser caves you can visit closed for the public, accessible from ground level. Really enjoyed it as a kid.

Thanks Erik. Hopefully the water levels were kindly! A great cave indeed!

I'm a tad late but this is fantastic! Just went on Tuesday, the caves are incredible and the vid definitely does them justice

Thank you David!. lovely to hear from you! We wish all the best adventures for you too!

We met you at tigh na mare in Arisaig in September and I was inspired by your vitality and passion for kayaking. I have really enjoyed your videos as I did chatting with you. I hope you are doing well and look forward to more adventures in 2024. All the best David

His name was Tim Nixon, not Tom

Did this one a lifetime ago also.

Sorry for the repetition :)

Hi Paddy. From Aberavon boys club ; Bob Saunders / Clive.

Nice one! Yes we can sympathise with you on that predicament!

Excellent job. And the quality of the video underground is brilliant. I'm ashamed to say I managed to lose the Llethridd key one bank holiday weekend in the early 90's. My friend and I were locked in the cave for about 4 hours with the water level rising quickly, , eventually finding the key in the streamway directly below the entrance ruckle. It must've slipped out of my inner velcro'd pocket as I leaned over the boulders, looking for a way down the entrance ruckle. It was a scary experience, as we both knew the cave flooded completely to the roof. We didn't actually make it to the decorated chambers, as we were the first in after a stormy winter and there were many blocked sections, requiring effort to open up. But I did get to the decorations on a later trip.

Leviathan wasn't accessible when I was there in the 1970s but the Peak Cavern link was pioneered by us - to the disgust of the Harrison family as we didn't have permission, it was a bit of late night guerrilla caving 😂😂🤣

Love this place

Mothers families home the Gower,Bishopston and Llangennith ❤

Great skills all round there, and really well filmed. Thank you

Great little film.

Brilliant Clive, We might have met. I knew Bob and are still in contact with Paddy.

Bob Saunders and I started caving with Paddy in the late 60s. Via Aberafon Boys Clib.

Amazing skills and so good to see.

Amazing film, Sid Perou must be happy that his legacy is safe in the hands of new generations of pot holers. I laughed out loud when that chap in the boulder choke started playing human kerplunk by pulling out stones. You folks are crazy! Subbed.

I live close,and have been a speliologist in my time and have explored peak cavern, the events they hold in its large chamber not far in are spectacular ! A very extensive system, not fully understood.

The next best thing to being there is a Catchpool 1 video.

Brilliant video, love the detail and dedication. I often hear sounds in caves others don't hear, am yet to hear a singing stal though!

surprised they bothered with ropes on the way down, you don't need em really...

Thanks Shane - Yes just so special - not good in storms though!

A truly special place i have paddled it a few times , an port is a memorable area ❤

This is an amazing place, I visited it over 30 years ago. I had to get there mainly on my backside due to my disability, it was well worth the experiance and the photo's. 🌻Thanks for the video.

The Muddy Links are fun, I wouldnt recommended thr Maze to even Experienced cavers.

If u say " wee wee ," it's more fun !

Hi I think you are referring to a man made tunnel called Peakshole Sough. This is a fairly horizontal tunnel probably dug by miners apparently to lower water levels in their workings. It does not connect to the main Peak Cave. Like all mines it can be hazardous for the inexperienced explorers and because it is so public, in this case I suspect it has been gated for public safety reasons. Beneath it is a spring calls Slop Moll and this carries some of the Speedwell Cave water It apparently does not connect to Peakshole Sough Hope this helps.

I have a question! There's an entrance to the "Devil's Arse" cave on a walk that I've done a few times, and the entrance is sealed off by an iron gate. What part of the cave is this/why is it gated off?

was there today, the quarry itself was too damn hot and the pipes leading in were at least 5c blowing out, beautiful place tbf...

28:50 You mention how younger members could hear a piping sound. There is a scientific reason for this - as you get older, your hearing slowly loses its ability to pick up the extremely high pitched sounds!

Your filmmaking work is really well done. In a platform surrounded by young folk, you always seem to raise the bar. Really good!
