# 'Special' being the operative word?
Come down to Bath and I'll take you through a proper cave (or come down to Priddy and I'll show you some sumps and scare the willies out of you).

# I don't want to see a proper cave
it'll be dark and claustrophobic and scary.

I like my namby pamby show caves.

# Wookey Hole is a pretty serious cave.
A friend of my mountaineering boss, when I was an arborist, was a cave diver and when he copped it (he went on a dive and the woman he was diving with died - he went back to retrieve her body with another partner and he died - cave diving is not for vegetarians) the put him, with some die, through wWookey Hoel and he came out the other end.

It's a huge system and nobody has yet reached the end, by some distance.

# I have reached the end
all i had was a pair of speedos and some goggles.
AND I accidentally left my sandwich box half way round and had to go back for it...
actually...come to think of it... no, no I didn't.
But it would have been cool if I had.

I'll stick to wandering round Chislehurst Caves thank you very much.

# Largest I've been in
was the Little Neath River Cave system : much smaller than Wookey Hole by a long way, but very scarey none-the-less.

Starts off as a small hole in the side of a river bank and ends up as vast caverns.

# Isn't it the law that you have to go to Kents Cavern
if you're on holiday in SW Devon?

I've been...
Kents Cavern!

# I have been.
It is in Paignton though, which is where my Father grew up.

My friends from Paignton work here.

# I think I was taken to Paignton every year up until the age of about 11
and there was a beach where they made sand sculptures - that could be somewhere else though,
oh, and a steam train that went past the beach and everybody waved.
again this could have beens omewhere else.
I know nothing :¬(

# The beach with the sculptures is Weymouth.
The steam train is possibly Dartmouth, maybe Dawlish.
