Great to see so much 'new', impressive chambers. Dr Willie Stanton guided myself and other Devon cavers around Reservoir Hole in the '90's, and I later became a leader for visiting Devon trips. He was such a pleasant person and I was deeply saddened by later events in his life. Such amazing skill and determination to blast his way into the system. Maybe one day the missing waterway that Willie was convinced exists will be found.
It's not every day you find the largest chamber in the country, especially not in an area renowned for smallish caves. I really did think someone was just joshing me when I was told about this as it was so implausible. I was quite astonished to find it was true (well, OK, largest area, not volume, but still).
Cute those two chatting the whole way! Derek, thanks for the great video on my home turf.
They both like to talk.
wow great work with the video. Filming in caves takes so much effort. The lighting and perspective you had makes it look so natural and easy!
Fantastic footage and editing job Derek.
Twin Video Production Thanks!
I hung up my caving boots over 30 years ago, but it's interesting to see how significant discoveries are still being made.
Lovely music. Great production Derek!

Miss this area so much! I used to live in Priddy about 3 miles away, Cheddar caves and wookey hole and connected waterways fascinated me.
Really like how you put that video together.
Ooh, first to watch, I feel special :)
Amazing!
Would you be able to do a video on your camera setup??
I so want to go down. Next time
Totally Awesome
What discoveries? Human or Animal remains? King Arthur's grave? Gold? Templar Treasure? Everyone's missing socks?
At 4mins 20, on the wall to the right of the screen looks alot like hand prints.
What discovery?
I guess it wan't clear. Frozen Deep is the discovery.
Is dynamite still allowed these days??
Would sure be a better video without the music.
Could you just turn it down .I guess you probably always find the fault in everything. Must be a sad existence
What a bait.
I think you're looking for a fishing channel.
"Major Discovery"? I guess it's a relative term.
You've been there?
