is a relatively new sport. Perhaps it is the desire forsolitude

people down to the depths of the earth. It is impossible to

/ˈpiːpl/ /daʊn/ /tuː/ /ðə/ /dɛpθs/ /ɒv/ /ði/ /ɜːθ./ /ɪt/ /ɪz/ /ɪmˈpɒsəbl/ /tuː/

give a satisfactory explanation for a pot-holer's motives. For

him, caves have the same peculiar fascination which high

/hɪm,/ /keɪvz/ /hæv/ /ðə/ /seɪm/ /pɪˈkjuːliə/ /ˌfæsɪˈneɪʃən/ /wɪʧ/ /haɪ/

mountains have for the climber. They arouse instincts which

can only be dimly understood.

Exploring really deep caves is not a task for the Sunday

planning and foresight of military operations. It can take as

impossible to foretell the exact nature of the difficulties
