Its good to be reminded of the privilege that my station in life affords me to engage in such activities.

It's been years since I've grovelled in cold mud in the dark. It is strangely addictive.

Ditto. True exploration is crawling through a new lead in an intricate cave system.
It's even better if the cave is flooded.

That's the best laugh I have had for a while.

Yes, when things are seeming a bit unpleasant or difficult I always pause and tell myself "You do remember that you are doing this for fun don't you???". It helps keep it in perspective.
