William Pike Challenge #1: Cave Stream

The Cold Adrenaline Rush hit Me as fast as a Bullet Train. Darkness like nothing I had ever experienced before. Cave Stream is only about 600M but takes around 1-2 hours. You can walk 600M in about 6-7 minutes. 

The water of Cave Stream comes from a snow melt in the Mountains, so it's obviously cold. There are many side caves that you can explore which either come to a ledge overlooking the Cave or a dead end. Going upstream is much easier than going downstream because you slip less, well, apart from a few nasty, fast running parts.

With only a torch each to light the way we were making our way toward the metal rung ladder at the end. Mr S-W told a story as we experienced real darkness. If you put your hand over your eyes you wouldn't even notice the difference. 

My favourite part was when I climbed up to my personal favourite side Cave which over looked part of the eroded passage way.


It really is a great challenge to kick off the year.
