That Little Neath River Cave (subject of the video David pointed us
to) is rather typical of caves in Britain. A guidebook says about it,
among other things, that a 150-meter crawlway "becomes impassable in
wet weather," and another place "sumps in wet weather." There is a lot
of wet weather in Britain, and a large fraction of rescue call-outs
are due to cavers being trapped (or worse) by high water. Runoff from
the long-since deforested hills is swift, aided in some places by
channels dug to help drain bogs. Lots of cave descriptions say things
like "enter only in extremely settled weather."--Mixon
