We were asked to help to document the radiolocation
and possible connection point towards the Symonds Yat cliffs. Loz and I joined
a well-choreographed trip where a number of people have been allocated critical
tasks by the Diggers. Our party of 3 including Loz, Ian Healey and I was going
to the forefront of the most current exploration and document the formations.
Dan Sandford followed up to the end as well with the
radio location transmitter rig, whilst the rest of his group established the Cavelink communication with
the surface team. In the same time the surface team was operating the reciever antenna to
triangulate our underground position in relation to the surface.
In addition to
that it was also a first proper test to my downsized photography set up, the
main camera being the small compact size Ricoh GRIII instead of the chunky full
frame DSLR. Due to unique nature of the task and location I opted to still take
the big camera with us to the end of the cave, just in case, and Loz kindly
agreed to carry it. Overall, a very successful trip with all the team achieving their
objectives.
