Nope, don't have a clue where any of them are. They all look horrid. At least after watching the excellent moving pictures thingy I never have to go to any of them!

Thanks Pegasus for the invitation to enter but I agree with Chunky - they all do look absolutely horrid, and not having an oversuit is a great excuse for not having to visit any of them.
However Chunky has been to a number of them. He can be seen struggling to get through the nasty bits in clips 13, 30, 31, 33, 34, 35 (note the trembling lip), 36 42, 43, 48 and 51. Perhaps he's blanked them out from his memory? I can understand that, there's a couple of the caves I've no wish to ever go back to.

And there was me thinking it was all just a horrible dream...............

Lesser Garth Cave/Ogof Ffynnon Taf now there's a cave you wouldn't get me in to.....literally!

Many thanks Pegasus for the kind offer,but we'll let someone more deserving have the chance for this one.

The most fantastic part of this competition, was the encouragement to plough through Keith's incredible assortment of video clips, though I am surprised to only see one reference to Derbyshire, sure I can see bits of Giants, Knotlow and Gautries hidden in there!

Thanks.  :)

The idea for this compilation came from the Red Bull video - This 60-second clip makes you feel claustrophobic. The clips all came from videos taken between 2010 and 2015 and when selecting the clips I tried to think of the some most horrible places we had visited during this time. Giants and Knotlow weren't horrible enough and although I'm sure Gautries would qualify I've never taken video in it.

That was so much fun to do, although I did get a little bit obsessed by the end. I had no idea the Dudley had that bank of brilliant videos - I have been watching them again and enjoying them just as much. Thanks for introducing me to them.

Just curious, but are the random numbers associated with a list of the people who posted? Or the list of posts? In other words, do people who post loads of chatter on these threads stand a better chance of winning than those who just post their entry?

Here's what I did for this competition...

I looked at the number of replies -  would have been 49 (cavermark's).  Then ask random.org for a number between 1 and 49 - if it comes up with a reply that 'doesn't qualify' - for example just chatter or me as in this case, I choose again.  So if you 'chatter' rather than enter, no you won't stand a better chance of winning  :)
