Another intense day recording measurements at Ingleborough Cave, Yorkshire Dales. Thanks to Mariana Lopez for operating the Sound Devices and Richard Carter for aerial photography and additional photography. Thanks to Andrew Jarman, Ingleborough Cave management, for their support and giving us access to take measurements in this amazing underground cave.

A large part of the cave system that we worked in was actually an underwater river, the whole 500m stretch is visually very exchillirating - one can imagine some 70s retro scifi movie in here - it has a wonderful feeling of otherworldlyness and adventure. As one walks down the curving tunnel the last 100m of the area accessible to the public sounds the most enticing to my ears. Thus we focused on this end stretch. This is the area named 'Long Gallery, '2nd Bells', 'Skittle Alley' and 'Pool of Reflections'. The play of light, darkness, echo, reflections, shapes and sound is messmerising. Given more time in the future and much consideration to equipment, it will be great to record deeper as well. I can understand how cavers get obsessed with exploring these connected underground otherworldly network of tunnels, halls and passageways. It has a tranquility and magical athmosphere, far away from our everyday reality and immerse all the senses completely.

Ingleborough Cave management shared the following survey with me - the encircled area is where we recorded:
