I Want to Tell You a Story
For our 10 year anniversary my missus thought it would be a good and adventurous idea to go caving, as a romantic treat.. 😐 so we booked to go to Deep Caving.
Off we went into the caves with the group and the tour guide and we descended down to 200ft under the ground.. we walked and explored and caved and looked at some pretty cool iron ore areas and I really enjoyed that part....
Towards the end of the tour the guide says, “okay so for the adventurous explorers we have a few challenges for you..” my girlfriends ears pricked up curiously, eyes as wide as a tea cup in the silhouette of my head torch.
He continued.. “so we have a couple of challenging holes you can climb through. Firstly we have a rabbit hole, then we have a mouse hole and for the little and daring ones, we have a worm hole..”
The missus harks on at me, please can we go please can we go and I’m like.. 😦 erm..okayyy 😟
The rabbit hole and the mouse hole were easy, just like going through a muddy tunnel at the park. But then there was the wormhole.
The guide had to check our body sizes to see if we could make it through. He checks me over like, yeah you should be ok.. I should have know when he said “should be” 😶
Away go the group of little people to the wormhole entrance and I’m feeling pretty confident, proud to be classed as a little person for the first time of my life..
I start to enter and crawl along the wormhole, my girlfriend behind me, followed by a couple of teenage girls and a few smaller kids. I notice that the hole is getting smaller and smaller and I’m practically crawling along on my belly at this point. The path then takes an L shape which turns up and out of the damn hole. I start to try to get up the L and all of a sudden. STUCK. I was stuck in the wormhole. I’m panicking and having an anxiety attack, sweating and certainly thinking oh god I’m gonna live out the rest of my days in this bloody cave. The teenage girls behind us start crying and asking what is happening and whether they’ll ever be able to get out, but my girlfriend tells them that my ass is stuck in the cave and reassures them they won’t have the lady curves yet, so they’ll be fine.
Finally one member of the group comes along and shouts at me “are you okay” and I’m like “I’m stuck” *sobs* he tells me to take off my glasses and to twist my hips through the gap and finally I was free...!! 😀
And it didn’t help that all along the caving journey i’d collected rocks in my pockets, which dug into every single part of of my body as I was stuck. My girlfriend had said it wasn’t a good idea to collect them and was very smug at the end of the entire palaver 🙄
