France - Lot in February 2009
Participants: Robin Sporrer, Roland Kring, Tobi Petzinger, Tibor
Czuppon, Tim Loeffler, Marc Grosse, Manu Schoch, Peter Gärtner, Fred
Petzinger, Tobi Ziegler
After the arrival in part by hail storms
and also resulted in the run-up to the
weather was not optimal, our expectations
about the diving conditions in advance of
something darker. We met on the first
evening at the joint crackling fireplace.
Tobi P, Fred and Tibor were already on the
ground and some had already dived caves, so
they could about the current conditions
report. Their report was positive overall,
as we feared. |

As a shelter for this tour was the Domaine
de Gayfie in which we are a total of 3
houses were occupied. The dining room of the
main house (18) served as a common meeting
place to plan, discuss and ratchets, but was
also used as a battery charger.
One of the rented houses with some equipment in front of the
house The early group (P Tobi, Fred and Tibor) made the
first check dives, each with an OC stage and maximum
penetration of 250m. They dived on Sunday Ressel at low flow
and moderate visibility of 4-6m. On Monday came the
Landenouse at very low flow and very good visibility
(10-15m). Then Tuesdays at the St. Georges hardly flow,
visibility was 5-7m.

The newcomers wanted to be the first in the
Cabouy to Warmtauchen. When we arrived at the spring, we
were surprised that the fence had disappeared and the bushes
around the water was removed. We are eager to see what is
happening there.

The fence at the Cabouy is gone

Even the bushes were fairly "cropped"
|
The spring bubbled and flowed over almost the entire width. The view
seemed good, and so we decided durchzustarten.

Battle of the material Cabouy

placed in the pool had diving first from Robin and Tibor. By
Peter Manu and 15 minutes later on the dive were the first

Beim Aufrödeln

Still full of zest for action :-)

Slightly disappointed that we could not
take dives, we were first on a supermarket,
and supplied us with red wine, cheese and
steaks.
Evening came and then Roland Marchand to
force it. They had not managed to turn away
from the work previously loszureißen and
therefore had the disappointing Cabouy
attempt missed. Evening was as good
tradition, a lot geratscht.
The next morning awaited us an unpleasant
surprise: Tim's car had a Plattenfuß. Thanks
to Paul's help, the Radschloss with "great"
tool cracked, the tire was changed quickly.
In Cajarc when he got nice car mechanic for
10 € the tire patched. This dive day began
just a little later.
How
auf'm construction, 10 people goggle, a Works, hihihihi ...
Another goal was to Ressel. The flow in
the river made it difficult, even with
the scooter to reach the cave entrance,
but from there the flow was then
moderate. In the cave, we found a
chaotic situation on the leash. From the
pit was a large part of the canvas torn.
Because the whole Flickerei we were not
quite up to the T. To a deep penetration
to Biwackhalle was not thinking.

It can go go!

Manu, Peter, or else on the Swabian Alb,
occasionally, in dry caves road, discovered
on the roadside a larger hole in the
mountain, and presumed access to a dry cave.
This based some small bats and stalactites
on the ceiling. It ended after climbing
close 20m.
Summary, we had luck with the weather,
for midweek somewhat colder, and hardly any
rainfall in the sun to endure.
