Had you gone underground yourself?

This pic brings back memories. Unfortunately, I lost my roll of film of my pitiful endeavours through Ogof Draenen cave in Wales...

Re: Caving... (none / 1)

Well, yes, I'm behind the viewfinder. I'd gone in ahead of the group slightly, dragging my Nikon EM, flash, flash cable and a few lenses in a small Pelican box. I'd been caving a bit for a few years by that stage. That was the cave we often used for new groups - not very challenging, apart from the crawl, and long enough to make an interesting round trip.

Cameras in caves (none / 0)

Impressive... The one camera that I dared to take into a cave was my cruddy point-and-click camera which was by that time more than 12 years old and only kept together because of sport tape. I destroyed my watch while caving.

Do we have more fellow (ex)cavers on ET?

Re: Cameras in caves (none / 0)

Well, the EM was pretty cheap, I was using an off-brand manual lens that was also pretty cheap and an off-brand flash. I think the case was the most expensive part of the set-up!

Re: Cameras in caves (none / 0)

Tried it a couple of times in my youth, but the person I used to go with got a severe attack of the fear and couldn't handle going underground, so we stuck to climbing for the next few years.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
