Cheesy Grins of Caving

[alastairgott]

I'll start off with a photo from this weekend taken by Rob Eavis.

When I was starting out caving me and a few mates noticed that there were many "serious face" caving shots taken, and these photos were typically the ones which went to print. Cheesy Grins and comical shots were excluded.


Does anyone else have any other Cheesy Grin shots?

Nothing like a bit of luxury to bring out the cheese

I generally try to avoid being photographed (or smiling), but here's one from a few years ago.

Wife says the only time I genuinely smile is when I'm caving

Better than a strangled grimace waiting for a certain photographer to get his kit working.


Ummmm OK then. This one from yesterdays trip.

And one horribly cheesy one. Cant remember who he is. :halo:

Sadly many of my images do tend to drift towards comical.



364 photos saved already this year so averaging nearly 100 a week !

Not just yet.
I have a summer expedition planned involving Valley Entrance pitch and then a dingy  in the canals towards the Rowten Sumps.
Just got to get it past the higher authorities

Best to remember. Never let cavers anywhere near your flower beds.

Oh go on then - me, shortly after dekitting on the day a certain choke was finally passed, after only (ahem) 20 years of work.

What a great idea for a thread! Here are a few of my favourites from me:

Gotta start with my lovely lady Jessica in Giants hole.
