    I’ll never understand caving. I have absolutely zero interest in getting lost in a cold, wet and dark confined place underground.

  2. HackAndHear on

    ill let a few hundred more interested people go first to weed out all the death zones before i go

  3. I like caves, they are plenty of ones open to the public with tours.
    Lots of open mines and museums too, I wouldn’t explore unknow ones though.
    All I can think of is that fat guy, who was trapped upside down, and they had to burry him there.

  4. So they found more of the same stuff I can find if I dug a hole in the garden?

    No fire breathing dragon in there waiting to be freed? No mythical gateway to a secret underworld?

    I’d hate to be the one to tell them that the movie rights on this are near worthless.

    Been following this one closely, it’s a serious win for these guys, it’s been draughting well for years which points to a potential big find. I’m glad it panned out for them!
