Photos + Vid from Gaping Gill

Absolutely cracking set of trips this weekend just gone, did a Flood / Bar exchange down into the main chamber of Gaping Gill in Yorkshire.
Set off a flare, which lit up the chamber most spectacularly.
NPC has just been done up as a hut, central heating and a great new wood fire, very very comfy!

Photos (just a few, camera didn't like the cold):

Flare Vid (exciting at 10s when Dan steps to the fore and catches on fire), though perhaps most amusing is my distressingly geeky voice over [ooohooho, fifteen thousand candelalala]  :) :
