Would you?

[Ian A]

Pinched that photo from Facebook. It's a cave in Belgium. When I saw it, it took me a nano second to decide I probably never would go in there and only a full second to reason out why ....

[Tom Howard]

I feel I should say no, but I can't find a reason in that photo not to..

[mike leahy]

All need is a good pair of knee pads

[Ian A]

Nothing to do with knees ....

Tom's inner self seems to be locking onto the reason ....

[Gareth Stonely]

Is it because it's a dry streamway or because batman took the photo

[Ian A]

What is it about the streamway ?    :dry:

[Tom Howard]

Is it because you're unlikely to visit Belgium and cave? Especially if it's a crawling job..

[Gareth Stonely]

There's no water when this photo was taken

[Ian A]

The "problem" would exist for all of us in equal measure.

The fact that there is no water there is a factor ....

so, would "you" be comfortable going through there? (you shouldn't be)

[Ian A]

I will just spit it out if you like  :whistle:  :whistle:  :whistle:

[Anthony Britner]

If I had to guess, which i don't have to it's probably got somthing to so with the erosion on the walls, suggestive of turbulence and therefore sudden and rapid flow of water perhaps.

[Ian A]

Very close Ant.

So, the first thing is that it is a streamway.

Then you notice that the pebbles are wet. So it is an ACTIVE streamway

Then you notice the SIZE of the pebbles - that's a fair old flow/speed of water

Then you notice there is NO tidemark so the rascal clearly FILLS up

If you are in there when it decides to take water, I think you're goosed.

So, I wouldn't go in.

or the water never leaves the pebbled area(the dark area). the rocks in poachers are bigger ,just saying :dry:  :dry:

[Ian A]

Such a small, weak flow could not have caused them to move to their resting places and there is no tide mark ....
