Hello

[matt george]

Hi all i am new to caving, just wanted to join a forum and chat to others about it.
So couple of weeks ago i went down goatchurch cavern i really did enjoy it felt such an achievement when i came out. Last night thought i would have ago at swildon's hole, well the first thing i got to say the cave is beautiful never saw anything like it it was mesmerizing lol. So i went down as far a sump 1 i had to give it a go seeing as i just made my way down there. As i went through and back my whole body just felt like it had be drained with energy, and i am not going to lie the climb back up was tough felt like i was on shut down mode. Obviously my fitness levels not as good as i thought lol. Well on the upside i am glad i had a chance to see this wonderful cave. Well yea here is my story so far hope i have a lot more to tell. Thank you for reading if you are still reading by this point.
