Caving weekend.
Oh boy am I tired and sore!
Yesterday morning I took the first of four groups of cavers through the labyrinths of limestone under Bungonia.
We had a ball! Grill cave was wetter than usual, with lots of mud and big puddles down low. Unfortunately, this also meant the CO2 levels were also higher than usual. I took them down deep enough to experience some mild effects of CO2, showed them what a lighter does in it's presence then back to the surface.
The second cave, Hogans hole and fossil cave, was much more fun, very dry and after we went through the cement bag, the five cavers had fun comparing who was the dirtiest.
Lunch on the lookouts overlooking the beautiful Bungonia Gorge, then back to Canberra for a welcome shower and a good night's sleep!
