Unbeleivable. Words don't do it justice - so heres some pictures:
Pristine straws all over the place
More of the same in Midnight streamway
You could spend a week photographing in here - I took 58 in 6 hours without really trying!
The entrance to Neverland - IMHO should be properly photographed and never entered again. There's a notice requiring you to remove boots and wear clean kit but as you are TOTALLY covered in gooey mud a complete change of clean dry clothes is the only sensible option to avoid destroying this awesome bit of cave.
Outside entrance to neverland
Stal in flashlight....
...and the same stal in headtorch light - camera balanced on my knee.
Huge flowstone deposits abound.
This is a fantastic cave but if you think it's easy, don't be fooled by the lack of SRT etc. - It's a serious undertaking which took us 6 1/2 hours, with some tortuous squeezes (if you're over 42" chest forget it) and some prolonged crawling over sharp rock. It destroyed my wetsuit and even with extra thick kneepads I have very sore knees! there's also some very loose stuff in places.
However there's so much stuff I came out looking like this guy -
- 'twas as memorable as my vewwy furst cave twip. Huge thanks to Mike from MCG - I will pop the CD of the prints through Nordrach letterbox this week.
NICE ONE FELLAS!
