We all have bad days, days where nothing seems to go right, days when things that are usually easy such as a particular obstacle in a cave become next to impossible. These incidents always provide great amusement for the spectators and over the years they have provided superb material for my caving videos. Today I have learned a new word, schadenfreude, and I have to plead guilty to engaging in a lot of schadenfreude during my caving career - great fun, happy memories.
However I've rarely been on the receiving end, and never when some joker is pointing a video camera in my face.

Please DO NOT share this film as is not up to the usual high standard expected by viewers of Caver Keith videos. It is being published under great duress and at the insistence of my caving chums who feel that fans of my videos would like to see me suffering from extreme embarrassment. I tried telling them that the footage had been lost - they didn't believe me. "Not exactly lost but corrupted when my computer crashed," I replied. They still wouldn't believe me. Neither would they believe that my computer had been hacked and the raw footage stolen. Eventually I had to give in and show them the footage, and now as a penance I've had to make it public.

Sorry, Caver Keith - will just have to share  ....and it's perfect for the home page 

One of my favourite videos you've produced so far.....love the way you wiggled your fingers to entice some help from your so called mates who just laughed and carried on filming 

Top effort

Did you put the wrong arm through first?

Hi Pegasus,
Thanks for putting my latest video on the homepage of UKC. I won't be able to show my face in caving circles ever again. Looks like I will have to spend 2017 keeping my head down and trying to re-bulid my reputation.

That must have been it Badlad. Simple error really. Could have happened to anyone.

best policy I find for Sidcot is to find other people to take people down whilst I wait on the surface
