I did this stuff when I was 15, without a second thought - loved it.
However now those pictures horrify me.
Had a desire to try out caving when I was a teenager - to his credit my Dad allowed me to try and so I went out with the Lancashire underground group (LUG - lets go down this 'ere hole). Even though I weas using borrowed equipment and it was freezing cold I bloody loved it. Floating down an underground river lying on my back looking up at the glistening walls was amazing, switched my lamp off and it was total blackness. Actually found the tight enclosure quite comforting ina weird kind of way (wanting to get back in the womb obviously!). I never went again, I think my mum kaiboshed the idea - think they had hoped I would go once and hate it!
MrAdamW is in Derbyshire Cave Rescue (DCRO). From the claustrophobic side to the extreme exposure side that is Titan, near Castleton.

I last did caving in Yorkshire, going through the Cheese Press was too much for me. 🙂
