Failed attemt to visit New Cave

By André Doussy 11 January 2014

On 8 December 2013 a large team of cavers were assembled at the entrance to the cave at about 08h30: Steven Tucker, Dave Ingold, Irene Kruger, Allen Herweg, Rick Hunter, Zoë Rosen, Sam Gibson, Veronica van der Schyff, Ashley Kruger, Pete Kenyon, Esti Van Der Westhuizen and myself. There were also three others whose names I don't recall.

ODE TO RISING STAR CAVE

Edited by André Doussy 1 December 2013

Based on the original words of Ruth Stasiak - Ode to Dragon's Breath Cave

From deep in the back of an adventurous mind

The thought of Westminster - what will we find

Let's gather some people, equipment and food

Return to those caves, they're going to be good.
