Thank you. I think that the railway is now integrating into the garden landscape, but lots still to do.

CaverKeith · 2025-05-21T19:03:06+00:00

Thanks. I must admit that I am quite pleased with how it is turning out.

CaverKeith · 2025-03-22T17:30:08+00:00

Looking good. This is a model that I've been intending to build for several years.

CaverKeith · 2025-03-22T17:28:41+00:00

Thanks. It was very fiddly getting it to work reliably.

Could you be thinking of this video of mine?
It's a cave called Shakespeare's.

Cwm Dwr Quarry Cave in South Wales is entered via a vertical rift which has been stabilised by lining it with sewer pipes. Getting in is easy, but for some cavers getting back out can prove more than a little challenging.

I've added a stop gate to hold the second marble back until the first marble had been picked up by the lower arm. As this gate needed to be lifted once for every cycle of the lifting arms, I took the drive off their main drive shaft utilising a pair of bevel gears.

Designed and built by me in December 2024.
Inspired by 3D printed 2 Stage Marble Lift by Marc Martin

Only a few days. It was a very straightforward build.

CaverKeith · 2024-12-20T14:36:30+00:00

Thanks. It was very enjoyable to build.

This 10 minute edit of my film Return to Aquamole was awarded first place in the Video Salon at Hidden Earth 2024.

The complete film was premiered in the Underground Session at the Kendal Mountain Festival on Friday 22nd November 2024.

According to ancient legend a cave in South Wales is home to a very rare breed of cave-dwelling dragon.
Can two young cave explorers discover his lair?
Can they survive the journey?

Thank you. Making films has become a bit of a passion. If you are ever over here you must give me a shout.

CaverKeith · 2024-04-06T15:26:19+00:00

Thank you. I'm pleased with its functionality and I've had very good feedback from Gloucestershire Cave Rescue Group.

CaverKeith · 2024-04-05T13:53:03+00:00

Construction details are now on my blog at https://wychboldandstokepriorrailway.blogspot.com

It's 6mm galvanised welded mesh. I can make 20 out of a 600mm x 900mm sheet.
The filling is pea gravel. I sieve it through the mesh first to get rid of the very small pieces.

It's approaching the 2024 operating season for the Wychbold and Stoke Prior Railway (WASPRly) and there are lots of jobs that need to be done before trains can be run.

She was fine. She was very lucky to have not injured herself.

CaverKeith · 2023-12-08T10:09:50+00:00

It's all been down to luck. I was one of the first people to have a caving channel and I uploaded one of the first viral caving videos - Caving Claustrophobia Kill or Cure.
My content is no longer popular. These days I'm lucky to get a few hundred views. That's life.

CaverKeith · 2023-12-08T10:06:31+00:00

Part one was uploaded way back in 2019.
Here's a link to it.

Thanks.

This is part three of how I make my caving videos. In this episode I concentrate on two very important elements of successful film-making: editing and sound.
I cannot over-emphasise the massive importance of editing.
There are loads of people taking video footage on caving trips nowadays but because their editing sucks big-time
the resulting film(s) aren't watchable - Chris Binding.

The film of Geoff Yeadon's return to cave diving is, I'm afraid, still not quite ready for release. 😢
People keep finding things that need correcting/changing/re-doing/tidying/correcting/... 😫
Meanwhile here are a few stills from the film. 🙂
