I entered this short video in the Art Salon at Hidden Earth this year and to my complete amazement I got a prize for the best work produced digitally.

And here's my prize, a hand-crafted statue of a caver made by Ceris Jones.

It's now proudly displayed in the CK film studio.

Northern Canyon OFD

Due to the poor weather we again visited one of our favourites, Ogof ffynnon Ddu. This time re-visiting a route we hadn't done in a while, Northern Canyon. Even found a beautiful helictite arch we hadn't come across before.

Northern Lights, Ogof Ffynnon Ddu

A trip to Northern Lights in Ogof Ffynnon Ddu has got to be one of the best caving trips in South Wales. The caving is varied and adventurous with a few navigational issues and just the right degree of challenge, and the reward for those who undertake the trip is to get to see some amazing cave decorations.

Filmed on 6th July 2019.

Wild Wookey Adventure Caving 2019 - It's not just walking around a bit!

Wild Wookey is a three hour ‘adrenaline-fuelled, high-octane, exhilarating Adventure Caving Experience’ in the largest and most spectacular cave complex in the UK. Hidden deep below the surface of the rolling Mendip Hills, Wild Wookey at Wookey Hole Caves is a haven for explorers, thrill seekers and anyone wishing to sample a taste of true caving.

Venturing into the darkest recesses of this World famous cave, guided by highly experienced instructors, Wild Wookey will have you immersed in a secret subterranean universe. Rich in history, shrouded in mystery, with vast expanses of unexplored passageways and caverns – this caving adventure is the ultimate adult’s underground playground… Well that's what the Wild Wookey website says! Back in August I was invited to video the adventure caving route and I have to say in my opinion it's ace, but have a look at the video and judge for yourself.

Wild Wookey can be booked online at www.wookey.co.uk/wild-wookey/
