We arrived at Fahs at just before 9am and waited for the Bizerte cavers to arrive. We all met up (all 15 of us) and drove for approx 90 minutes to the cave (Grotte de la Mine or rhar djebel serdj). We were to camp inside the cave, so we all walked up the hillside, laden down with a variety of bags.
The entrance is via old mine workings and descends two inclines (abseils) and an old iron ladder into the large first chamber. It took a long time to get all persons into the cave as the Bizerte cavers need to share SRT kits. Once in we set off for a look round this impressive chamber, after a quick, impromptu disco thanks to JC and his ipod! Later in the evening some of the group settled down to sleep, others went off to visit the “chimney” and the Brits stayed behind to photograph the chamber. At 11:30pm we attempted to get some sleep.
