This video follows a group of cavers underground. For two of them it is their first ever caving trip. The video is aimed at potential cavers and shows what to expect on a novice caving trip.

The railway as a double-track main line section and a single track branch line. The railway features a tunnel, cutting, viaduct, bridge and spiral. It has 4 stations - Wychbold, Stoke Works, Stoke Prior and Brookside.
This year I aim to film more Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends videos.
The next adventure will be Devious Diesel's Disaster.

Getting stuck deep underground is most people's worst nightmare.
Caver Keith sets off to go caving in Ogof Ffynnon Ddu (OFD) with two of his most trusted caving colleagues, Chunky and Loz. What could possibly go wrong in a part of the cave known as the Birth Canal?
And remember, we do these caves so that you don't haver to.

I've been a caver for over thirty years and I'm also a volunteer for the Midlands Cave Rescue Organisation.
I make films about my caving adventures which have achieved some modest success (54 million views on YouTube), many of them are light-hearted.
My talk covers all aspects of caves and caving including equipment, techniques, rescue, cave development and cave formations, all illustrated by video clips or photographs.
Join me vicariously in an exciting adventure underground.

Boulder Chokes are formed by a cave roof collapsing completing blocking a passage. Cavers will always attempt to find a route through a choke by carefully, very carefully, removing boulders. If a route can be found it is likely to involve squeezing and bodily contortions. They are not places for claustrophobic or salad-dodgers.

Since joining the Wychbold and Stoke Prior Railway loco fleet poor James has never had any suitable coaches to pull. So he was nearly always relegated to pulling goods trains.
Recently two brand new shiny splendid red coaches arrived on the railway and now James' dreams have come true and he can pull passenger trains!

A range of adventurous activities are laid on and this year my brother and I chose canoeing on the Menai Strait, gorge walking along the Afon Goch and walk in Coed Craflwyn. All great Fun.
My love for the natural environment and adventure goes back to the month I spent at Plas Gwynant Adventure School (as it was then called) in August/September 1964. During my stay I learned about map and compass work, mountain living and first aid. I went rock climbing, canoeing, hiking and abseiling. My favourite activities were definitely climbing and abseiling and when I discovered caving I just knew it was the sport for me.

To those people who have made this comment, if you need to ask the question then I'm sure you won't understand the answer, but here goes anyway.
Caving is fun! The world beneath our feet is an enormous adventure playground and exploring it is exciting, but don't just take my word for it. Please watch the video and look at the expression on our new very young caver's face, and listen to her words. She agrees with me, caving IS enormous fun!

This cave hides a secret, something that the original explorers went to extraordinary efforts to keep hidden. These efforts extended as far as to completely erase from the cave survey the passage where it is hidden.

Gorge walking at How Stean Gorge is an exhilarating experience. You enter the gorge by abseiling directly from the bridge above . You then then forge your way against the flow of water as you scramble over boulders, slide down waterspouts , sit under waterfalls and jump into deep plunge pools. You’ll be guided along the way by expert instructors.

The marbles are lifted by an Archimedean screw made up from over 100 fishplates on a 11.5" screwed rod.
The diaphragms are made from a pair of rubber gloves stretched over 5.5" circular girders.
The model works incredibly reliably. During the making of this video not a single marble was shed.

Part of the attraction of caving for me is pitting myself against nature and these 5 caving trips are amongst the most technically difficult trips I've done in my thirty plus years of cave exploration. Completing each trip in the knowledge that I'm one of a privileged few to have ever done so has led, in each case, to an enormous sense satisfaction.

We Wish You a Merry Christmas by Audionautix
Caves are magical places, full of amazing sights. The mineral deposits that adorn cave ceilings and walls are intricate and incredibly varied consisting of stalactites, stalagmites, curtains, frozen waterfalls, rimstone dams and, the most remarkable all of cave formations - helictites and every one of them has been sculptured by nothing more than water.
Caves themselves are also created by water - The tunnels, chambers, shafts and finely sculptured walls have all been carved out by flowing water .
So how do caves and their decorations come into existence?
#caving #CaverKeith #DudleyCavingClub
Disclaimer
This short video is merely an overview of cave development and covers the subject in a highly simplified way. It does not include anything about the types of limestone laid down in different geological periods of time or how cave passage development can be modified by such things as infill, faults and fractures in the rock layers. It will inevitably contain some inaccuracies (I hope very few) and omissions.

Amazingly this didn't require much modification to get it working smoothly - just a lot of patience!
The main modifications are:
1. More cross-bracing on the bearing for the flywheel.
2. Modified cross-head slide.
3. Replaced 1" pulleys and angle brackets with bush-wheels for crack for valve mechanism.
