France Cave Trip
-
That's awesome! Looks like ALOT of fun man
-
That is CRAZY!! Love it.
I usually duck my head when I head into a parking garage (sort of like body english in bowling), so I would probably be crouched down the whole time.
Any more pics?

Someday I wanna be a member of the "Offroad Underground"...:yesgray:
Though shipping Suzy the Floozy all the way to France might prove cost prohibitive...:confusedw
Looks like a great adventure...:thumbup:
-
Cool trip! That is one original club name:laughy:
-
Shouldn't the passenger get out and take the pic, it's dangerous for the driver to be out of the vehicle don't ya think

Spelunking and off-roading at the same time. How long is the cave and the driveable trails?
-
Wow!
Awesome!!!!! Never seen anything like that.
Peace.

That is so cool! Glad you guys have some cool places to meet up and wheel. Cheers!
-
Thanks Guys!
The caves extend to over 60 kilometers in all directions. In all there are about 3 kilometers that are driveable. But get a torch and start walking and you'll soon get lost!
Here's all my pics:

What great pictures. THANKS for sharing.

That must have been a great trip.
Thanks for sharing the fun of having a VX!

It was an awesome weekend. What Nick misses out is that he was one of the guys that put in the work to organise it...
It would be really good is I could see the video of my attempted climb out of the caves up the really rutted exit. I said I'd have 3 goes before I started and that's what I stuck to as there was a 300 mile drive home. I'm sure that I'd have made it on the 4th ;) Only a couple of quite highly modded trucks made it under their own steam so I'd say I made a pretty valiant attempt on behalf of us VX drivers!
Anyhow, here are some of my pics...

Mine lurking (that's it lurking behind the pillars in one of Alterastro's pics too - it was trying to get a sausage off the BBQ...)

I guess its the Vehicross equivalent of sniffing each other's bottoms...

The site had a very interesting history, having been used as a munitions store in the WW1. Judging by some of the carvings in the rock the guards were a bit bored...

There was a small memorial-like bit too. Check out that mortar-shell fencing...

I'll be stitching together my video snippets when I'm back home and will post the result on YouTube and here so you can get a bit more of an idea. Even above ground it was a pretty fun little site and I'd happily go back.
