The final episode--I arrive at Swildon's hole--an entrance to a massive underground caving system-----A pot hole that is never locked--? because a young man  never returned  one day from the hole--the lid is now rusty and never applied. As  I take a look at a plague remembering Mark Jones I notice a pot-holer emerging from the hole---he says nothing, he never looks round, he does not see me--is he a ghost---he disappears but is on the video---the water from the fresh spring is gushing down the pot hole---I wonder how anyone can get inside  --so noisy as the water swirls and forces itself into  Swildon's hole---I was surprised the man was alone. As I walk back to my van 2  more pot-holers arrive  heading for the pot-hole --all suited in their wet suits and helmets with torches attached------brave  people me thinks squeezing into those  holes, into the darkness, into what will be a huge cavern as high as a double decker bus and stretching for miles----somewhere I have a plan of this caving system--one of the largest in Europe but with such a rustic and basic entrance---and unlocked.
