Pinched that photo from Facebook. It's a cave in Belgium. When I saw it, it took me a nano second to decide I probably never would go in there and only a full second to reason out why ....

I feel I should say no, but I can't find a reason in that photo not to..

Is it because you're unlikely to visit Belgium and cave? Especially if it's a crawling job..

The "problem" would exist for all of us in equal measure.

The fact that there is no water there is a factor ....

so, would "you" be comfortable going through there? (you shouldn't be)

If I had to guess, which i don't have to it's probably got somthing to so with the erosion on the walls, suggestive of turbulence and therefore sudden and rapid flow of water perhaps.

Very close Ant.

So, the first thing is that it is a streamway.

Then you notice that the pebbles are wet. So it is an ACTIVE streamway

Then you notice the SIZE of the pebbles - that's a fair old flow/speed of water

Then you notice there is NO tidemark so the rascal clearly FILLS up

If you are in there when it decides to take water, I think you're goosed.

So, I wouldn't go in.

Such a small, weak flow could not have caused them to move to their resting places and there is no tide mark ....
