Caving (although not so much these days) and FPV drone flying

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I bought a load of FPV stuff, but didn't really take into account I live right next to an airport... Haven't flown in a about a year, but I should really get back into it!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, that could be problematic!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Only slightly!! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Caving is really cool! One of my friends is super into it. There are some beautiful crystalline caverns underground. :)

I love flying FPV! Just started getting into the hobby, and have only flown in the sim (goggles otw), but it's really fun, especially when flying to music

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It is a great escape from the day to day

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Caving as in getting inside of caves and exploring them as stuff? That kind of caving?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes, usually referred to as potholing in the UK. Squeezing through tight spaces underground for fun!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It sounds like the absolute worst, and everyone I know who's ever been into it has been kind of crazy in other ways too. But hey whatever floats your boat ๐Ÿ˜„

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It's definitely not for everyone that's for sure. I've been underground with new cavers who swore they weren't claustrophobic until we reached a squeeze, then reality comes calling!

Ah spelunking in the US. Why has it gotten harder?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Harder as in access to caves, or age related aches and pains?! Access to most caves in the UK is pretty straight forward if you are a member of a club. Many caves are protected and require permissions. The age related issues just keep getting worse each year ๐Ÿ™„

Fpv drone flying is so fun. I fucking love flying them so much.
