Smoo cave video unexplored scotland 130

The large volume of water entering the cave following the melting of the ‘lambing snow’ has meant that I have not been able to conduct tours for the past few days.  I have made use of this spare time by searching for caves elsewhere across the Durness area.  This was met with success near the southern end of the Kyle of Durness, where two new caves were discovered.  Although short at the moment, future removal of inner blockages should allow entry into visible extensions.  Further extension of a site closer to Smoo Cave was also made, which is particularly interesting as it trends towards Smoo Cave.
