Day 28 Wednesday 14/10/09

So all the team could go underground together, rather than one or two shaft-bashing, we decided to spend the day at the well-known, Chaara Cave. The drive took longer than anticipated as the track was no longer used and after about 2 hours off-roading we reached our destination. This cave was explored and dived in the early ‘80’s by Cerberus members. We entered the main entrance down the mud slope and whilst JC and Radwan led, Aziz, MC and EP undertook some photography in the well-decorated river passage. Unfortunately, the cave carries a large stream in winter and together with the stream, all the local rubbish, resulting in the water being quite polluted. We soon reached the others who had turned back.

The locals on the surface were very friendly and knew of many other caves in the area – for a future trip.
