A rope was put over the overflow of the cave pool and a diver, secured with another rope, was to recover as much equipment as possible out of the pool.
Some stages could be recovered but the water level rose up more and more
Gertjan, Jiles, Ralph and Hoffi helped Brus out of the rapids. It was too dangerous to recover more equipment
The water level rose more than 2m overnight. A lot of equipment got washed away. Some stages were still in the pool.
The overflow from the cave pool yesterday
The same place today The team discussed what they could do
The pool yesterday. Crystal clear water and the small rivulet
The small and lovely river mutated to a river with big rapids
The rest of the team arrived the next morning. It had rained the whole night and some loud noises got us really scared
After two hours the water level was at the highest. It was impossible to recover more equipment.
The whole place around the pool was flooded. Impossible to work safely
The equipment that had not been taken away by the river was brought up with the cable car
We couldn’t do anything anymore. It was time to drive home. View of the flooded river
