The rope looks like something from a Clint Eastwood film.

It's hawserlaid for a reason rather than potentially lethal kernmantle.

This one is mine, gives scale of the cave and drama of the waterfall for me

I agree with chunky.

Whilst Mark flexed his proper camera, and proper photography skills. I had a bash with my new phone camera . Same spot, different perspective?

A.A. before the tape and digital camera.

I actually wondered if anyone would like to reprise 60's cave photography. Hand fired flashbulb flashguns. SLR Camera. Work out your own settings. Cart it all in an army steel ammo box. No editing at all and you dont see the results until the film returns.

Darn. Looking at files again I have the last image as Fourth Choke Craig a
Fynnon. Help required. Its one or the other.

Looks very much like the 4th choke of craig. The route on is up on the right side of the slope just past the largest boulder

I recently took a trip down Trapdoor Pot. It was a testing and cracking trip, these pictures really sum it up.

Ben Chaddock duly inspecting the load bearing expansion foam!

The release of the croissants at the bottom of Megatron.

A less happy Ben in the Stripper.

That really sums up the typical action in Trapdoor Pot nicely - you don't see many photos taken in there! It was my first black book cave many years ago (back when I thought those kind of caves were fun). A real esoteric number, but loose as hell. The walls at the top of Megatron were literally flaking away (probably similar to the pastry on your croissants)

When I was researching the trip, after a lot of sleuthing I managed to find some photos from an imperial trip but that was all. It would be great if someone who really knows their way around underground photography could get some photos of Megatron. It is such an epic pitch and it's a shame there are not any photos of it.

About as close as I've been to a cave recently. This is Biidi, aka "the arch behind the gas station", Page, Arizona.

What only the camera can see. Withyhill underwater macro.
