Well I have been nagged into writing something on this evening which I can barely remember if truth be told, not that this will be apparent in the account below. Euan Petrie and his pal spent a couple of weeks in Tibet, which looked pretty much as one would expect with lots of monks and prayer flags. The particular region which they visited, looked rather dry, I expected a bit more lush vegetation but there must be mountains with forested slopes thereabouts. I can’t really remember very much else. I do remember Euan telling me a story in the pub afterwards about when he was cave diving in the Bahamas, very interesting to an ex-caver. Apparently you can dive from fresh water pool in the middle of one of the islands down and out into the open sea where the flow of fresh water exits into the Ocean. It sounded nice apart from the flesh eating flies, must be relatives of our friend the cleg, that bite chunks out of you while you are struggling out of your wetsuit. I once explored a cave which started about 2000 feet up a Norwegian mountain an exited just above the fjord- not actually into as is Euan’s example. In fact it was my friend who happened upon the exit while nigh on 2000’ in the depths of the mountain when he observed a strange light which turned out to be the moon reflected in the waters of the fjord. I think this cave probably still holds the record for the deepest "through trip" in Europe since exiting at the bottom of a cave is not the norm. I do remember odd occasions when this was explained to a caving novice at the bottom of a cave and the look of panic which ensued. "♪Oh I wish I was on some Tibetan mountain range, oh I wish I was on some Tibetan mountain range, got no reason to be there but I figure it might be pretty strange ♫" . Sounds better than Australian mountain range I know they go up to about 7000’ but I have never really thought of Australia as really mountainous apart from Tasmania, which looks pretty cool.
