Fascinating video, and makes me even more keen to try caving. But I had to laugh that a man named Derek Bristol, no less, misnamed the Bristol Channel the British Channel! It's got your name...! X'-)
Oh look , Elaine, Frank, Les and Cookie are on telly, hanging out with the famous cavers :-) Looks like a fine selection of the UK's better (southern) potholes.
5:12 you should have said 'Bristol Channel', not 'British Channel' as there's no such place. The Bristol Channel is a major inlet in the island of Great Britain, separating South Wales from Devon and Somerset in South West England. English = belonging to or relating to England, or its people: Englishwoman, Englishman. British = belonging to or relating to the United Kingdom, or to its people (English, Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Irish) or its culture. Great Britain = large (hence great) geographical island in the British Isles containing three small countries: England, Scotland, and Wales. United Kingdom = country, the kingdom consisting of four smaller countries: England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Englishwoman = me. xx ❤
Only just put 2 and 2 together that I saw you do the Videography talk at Hidden Earth. I was still quite hungover at the time.... Was before I got into your videos via the kit reviews and Rope Walking videos! How was Lionel's? Last I was in there it was a navigational nightmare but might be better if you have a guide. Needs your surveying prowess clearly.
No. And it's banned in quite a lot of caves. Only gets dug out for special 'nostalgia' trips these days. Carbide was still used on expeditions and long camping trips for a decade or so after everyone stopped using it for normal day trips.
That music makes my ears bleed...lol, just kidding. Finally listened to your interview on the podcast; it was great. And congrats on the cartography award!

Congrats for the recognition . Excellent documentary of UK caves.
Thanks Elke!
Beautiful video, thanks!
I think I saw the back of my head in the bar. We need to get you up north next time you're over, the caves are very different.
The Dales are definitely the target of my next visit.
Nice work ;)

Fun video...what a great time you must have had! What was that "light show" in Cox's cave?

It was spectacular!

Are you entering this to the Hidden Earth video competition next year?
Welcome to the UK!
Thanks!
Does anyone still use carbide lamps in Britain? My last UK caving was in 1968....:-)
Didn't see anyone using carbide.

Is caving your hobby or your job?
A hobby, but a serious hobby.
"full english breakfast" is a lie, where is the blood sausage?
