Strans Gill or Quaking photo

[Chris Scaife]

Dear Cavers,

We are currently working on a project and need a high quality photograph from Strans Gill Pot or, failing that, Quaking Pot. I have photos from being in both of those caves myself, but they are grainy, blurry phone shots - which is what I imagine most people's images from these caves are. Obviously that won't do, so please can you contact us if you have a publication-quality underground photo from either cave.

Many thanks,

Chris

I don't think I took much when we went down Strans, got video from Quaking but it won't be high quality if I screenshot the videos.

If people knew what Quaking Pot really looks like, no one would ever go there.

Yeh, like yours mine are pretty blurry and you probbably have them anyway. I think this is the best one of you crawling to the second pitch. (Strans gill).

We could do a photo trip if you like for better shot's down quaking, though I don't think I fit through the crux so it will only be to there. I certainly won't fit in Strans gill now

I’ll come for a photo trip to do a bit of quaking if you want. Never been

This description by the late Ian Cummins conveys what Quaking is like quite vividly. When younger and fitt
er I tried it a couple of times, but baulked at the Crux. https://whiterosepotholeclub.wordpress.com/2018/01/21/quaking-pot-the-gloom-of-gormenghast/

I think this is a photo I took of you in Strans Gill, Alex. Maybe we need to start a new thread: Whosearseizzit?
