A 2-3 hour walk within Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park including a 400-500m climb and descent though caves brings you out into this large open chasm with two large holes in the cave roof where sun light streams in. Over a period of an hour the sun moved overhead until it was streaming down directly onto a Pavilion built during the reign of King Rama V 122 years ago.

Calinawan Cave got its name from the word linaw, a Tagalog term for "clear". It is said that during the 15th to 18th centuries, opposing parties used to convene inside the cave to settle disputes, thus, the name Calinawan.
This cave also served as a shelter and a hideaway from the Japanese during World War II. It was also in this cave where Japanese soldiers surrendered to the Liberation Forces.

This limestone cave carries an original native Indian name. Daylight enters in the two large chambers in the cave through a hole in the ceiling. The cave has a large population of bats. At dusk, the bats exit through the cave openings and roof-holes to forage and return to rest during the day.
Bears Cave (Romanian: Peștera Urșilor) is located in the Western Carpathian (Apuseni) Mountains, on the outskirts of Chişcău Village, Bihor County, Romania. The cave contains several complete skeletons and numerous bones of extinct cave bears (Ursus spelaeus), a species that disappeared more than 15,000 years ago. It seems that a big boulder slided and blocked the entrance in the cave. Approximately 140 cave bears were caught inside.
The cave was discovered in 1975. Its entrance is situated at an altitude of 482 m (1,581 ft) and the visited portion is about 1 km (3,300 ft) in length.
On Thursday I took a wander up to Corndon Tor on Dartmoor. This was the first time I'd visited this tor and the area looked gorgeous covered in Heather and Gorse.
About 50 yards or so up from the road sits Cave-Penney Cross. It's a memorial to Evelyn Anthony Cave-Penney, who was shot dead by an enemy sniper whilst leading his troops in Palestine on June 8th 1918.
Cave-Penney was a lieutenant in Queen Victoria’s Own Corps of Guides who can be argued were one of the most famous regiments of the Indian Army. He was only 19 when he was killed.
There is an inscription on the other side of the memorial that reads...
"TO THE GLORY OF GOD
AND TO THE DEAR MEMORY OF
EVELYN ANTHONY CAVE PENNEY
LIEUT. Q.V.O. CORPS OF GUIDES
FELL IN PALESTINE WHILST
GALLANTLY COMMANDING HIS MEN
JUNE 8TH 1918 AGED 19
LOOK UP AND LIFT UP YOUR HEADS"

There are a lot of sea caves around Rum but not many are easily accessible except from the sea. We had to wait for the tide to go out here to get round a small headland on foot. The red rocks are the billion year old Torridonean sandstone.
NW of Kranj there is a large forrest, caled Udin boršt. It grows on some 100 m - 150 m elevated conglomerate terrain. In conglomerate most of water disappears underground, reaching the lowest level, then it flows out on many sides. In Udin boršt the so-called conglomerate karst is being formed. There are also many caves, the cave of Ambrož is near Duplje village. Some 400 years ago people were seeking there refuge against Turkish raids. Later, outlaws were hiding there.
