Cave exploration, or pot-holing, as it has come to be known,
/keɪv/ /ˌɛksplɔːˈreɪʃən,/ /ɔː/ /pɒt-ˈhəʊlɪŋ,/ /æz/ /ɪt/ /hæz/ /kʌm/ /tuː/ /biː/ /nəʊn,/
is a relatively new sport. Perhaps it is the desire forsolitude

or the chance of making an unexpected discovery thatlures

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
/ˈmaʊntɪnz/ /hæv/ /fɔː/ /ðə/ /ˈklaɪmə./ /ðeɪ/ /əˈraʊz/ /ˈɪnstɪŋkts/ /wɪʧ/
can only be dimly understood.

Exploring really deep caves is not a task for the Sunday

afternoon rambler. Such undertakings require the precise
/ˈɑːftəˈnuːn/ /ˈræmblə./ /sʌʧ/ /ˌʌndəˈteɪkɪŋz/ /rɪˈkwaɪə/ /ðə/ /prɪˈsaɪs/
planning and foresight of military operations. It can take as

cave. Precautions of this sort are necessary, for it is
/keɪv./ /prɪˈkɔːʃənz/ /ɒv/ /ðɪs/ /sɔːt/ /ɑː/ /ˈnɛsɪsəri,/ /fɔːr/ /ɪt/ /ɪz/
impossible to foretell the exact nature of the difficulties
