GLOwen and the gloworms

Waitomo is famous for its caves and gloworms so here are some pics of us abseiling (35m) , exploring the caves (you go 1.5kms into the cave) and then climbing back to the starting point. It was one of the best days so far, once inside the gloworms almost lit the way and in some places you don't need a torch. I was "encouraged" to go first on the abseiling and rock climbing as the most nervous participant, there were only 4 of us; me and Bec and a couple from Brighton. To my surprise I didn't freeze and enjoyed it all, maybe we'll try it in Derbyshire when we get back!

We were driven to a farm, and at the end of an innocuous looking sheep field there was a cravass that led us underground.
