LoL Harkoliar! Met any Kobolds in there? Hehe! [img]graemlins/evillaughter1.gif[/img] Personally I don't go caving. They're might be some noteworthy caves here in holland, but non as fancy as those I presume. A friend of mine did go hiking through scotland once and he did went into some impressive caves! One cave had entire walls that were cut by water so they looked like square-lego-blocks stack upon one and another... Was really weird and cool-looking! I'm planning on cave-tripping (nice pun eh? ) at some point in my life, but nowadays, I'm just so busy with college and all..... Looks great though!

thanks alot zuvio.. and your right.. it was kinda scary meeting "something" down there.. like the one in bg2 in the underdark where the duegar dug too deep, which im sure you bg2 fans know what im talking about..
or in everquest 1 in the kobold cave near quentos .. if i see anything that moved there besides a human, i would be running on water...

Very Cool pics. The only caves I have been into are some in B.C. There is some caves on the Kooteny lakes but not near as nice as the ones you were in.

cool, nice pics, the closest I have come to caving, is walking through one called blanchard springs, but there was no climbing involved, you rode an elevator down, but it was still pretty in there

lol thanks all, i had to go through like hell just to come out alive. (seriously) i had to go through a hole smaller than me, crawled like a worm for how many meters, climbed thru dust and falling rocks, wrecked my cloths, brusied my entre body... but after all of that it was great! [img]smile.gif[/img]
my next caving trip will be two months from now. letting my body rest and gotta study first [img]tongue.gif[/img] . i do hope some other people here goes caving as well

Nice pics Harkoliar!
I've been to the Jenolan caves once before, but that was a long time ago, so I can't really remember much. I do however, remember that it was very beautiful. [ 10-13-2003, 03:33 AM: Message edited by: GokuZool ] |

I've been to jenolan caves a few times too! though not in the *tight* areas LOL. It sounds like you had a great time.Try out the wombyan caves too. about 100km s/w of there. There is some good bushwalking and canoeing there too.
P.s Harkoliar, have you heard from Charlie recantly?
