Madness, Ive recently become a subscriber, just watching this video and at 5:14 into the video & up pops an old mate Frank Tully. Its a very small world!
Oh Derek Swildons one of my favourite caves. We would visit it in the evenings as day time it got so crowded. So many round trips by passing the sumps great sporting cave. I’ll tell you a story. One trip we had passed into Swildons 4 on round trip.. One of my friends who was in front came RUNNING back down the streamway shouting there’s a skeleton there’s a Skelton. When we got there somebody had arranged some animal bones to look like a human..Scared the hell out of him. Well that’s Cavers humour. I enjoy your videos keep it up. My next trip is Ogof Ffynnon Ddu mid Xmas break.
Goatchurch Cavern is probably a closer equivalent in the UK to what Pettyjohns or Buckners is in the US. These caves are incubators for great cavers. Without caves like these many of us, me included, might never have become involved in caving.
@@DerekBristol There were also a lot of bones dug out in the Victorian era. I understand that the surface level is now a couple of metres lower than before the archaeoloical digs. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aveline%27s_Hole
