Kela

Že v soboto, 18. avgusta smo se odpravili v društveno 2. najglobljo raziskano jamo – Kela, na grebenu med Ratitovcem in Soriško planino. Zakaj? Hja, načrta še nismo povsem narisali in oddali na kataster… Hja, saj vemo… no po toliko letih (kar nekaj se jih je vmes nabralo), je padel plan, da jamo zopet obiščemo, izmerimo in še enkrat raziščemo – po toliko letih mogoče najdemo kaj, kar smo prvič zgrešili 🙂

It was already on Saturday, 18th of August, when we visited 2nd deepest cave, that our club explored – Kela, on the ridge between Ratitovec and Soriška planina. And why did we go there? Khm, we still didn’t make a plan and register this cave in Slovenian register of caves, We know, we know,… after those years, we at least had a plan to visit cave again, measure it (again) and find something new long and deep 🙂

Od “letnega” parkirišča je cca. 30 minut hoje, od “zimskega”, ko je” letni” z avtom nedostopen pa cca. 2 uri grizenja kolen – tako da upam, da zaključimo pred snegom 😀

Na toplem sončku potem preoblačenje – in hitro v jamo – v kombinezonu namreč nesramno hitro “zakuha” 🙂

There is 30 minutes walk from “summer” parking, from “winter” one, when “summer” is not accessible by car, there is 2 hours of steep walk to the entrance,… so hopefully, we finish this cave before snow 🙂

We jump into our caving suits – and quickly into the cave – it can get really hot in caving suite outside 🙂

In ko smo enkrat v jami… samo šibaaaaj. Sobotni plan – ponovno opremiti in izmeriti stari del jame. Po meandru navzdol do brezna, kjer predsednik ferajna že namešča vrv. Ga vprašam, koliko je sploh globok ta stari del jame? Pravi on, da cca. 70 metrov (od vhoda) in se spusti po štriku, se malo nižje že baše skozi eno ožinico in zopet opremlja novo brezno.

Saturday plan – equip and measure old parts of the cave. We went through meander to second abyss, where our club president was already mounting the rope. And my question to him: “How deep is this part of the cave?” And he responds approx. 70 meters and descends down and a little lower he is squeezing himself through narrow passage and equipping another abyss. After measuring this part, we knew, that our president has bad memory – depth is 120 meters 🙂 – but it will go deeper in this part of the cave.

Midva s Tomažem pa prav po babje klepetava in se potem počasi le odpraviva za Walterjem. Brezno za breznom, ko dosežemo poličko nad dnom. Walter zleze še niže do dna… in takoj napove, da se danes tega dela še ne bo razopremilo, bo treba malo pokopati, saj se nadaljevanje vidi – no, pa bomo očitno že v teh delih našli kaj novega 🙂

Tomaž and myself were chatting like 2 old ladies that have not seen each other for a long time and finally we follow Walter. Abyss after abyss, when we reach ledge above bottom. One descends further and he immediately told, that we would need to dig a little, since he can see where cave could continue – I guess wishes came true – we will find something new even in these old parts 🙂

In mi je odleglo, ker se ta del še ne bo razopremil… Sicer sem imel foto opremo s seboj, a kaj ko tokrat na akciji ni bilo dovolj članov, tako da sem samo sem in tja naredil kakšen škljoc. Bodo drugič fotke (upam) boljše 🙂

I felt a huge relief that this part will be let equipped… I had my photo equipment with me, but on this “expediton” there was not enough members to have measuring + photo team, so I just took some snapshots while we went through. Next time photos (hopefully) will be better 🙂

Zaključek na Soriški planini na odlični joti in pasulju in pivu.

Conclusion on Soriška planina with great stew – and a beer.
