07.01.2022 The Blind Sport Podcast | Episode 43 - Blind Caving with Graham Owen Do you enjoy feeling your way through a dark, unfamiliar, obstacle filled environment? If you don't get enough of this as part of everyday life as a blind person, then you could go caving. In episode 43 Blind Caving chats with vision impaired caver Graham Owen from England and his caving guide Jimmy.... Join us and listen to how caving (or Potholing as it is known) can be done as a blind person. Graham shares his stories of various underground adventures, handy tips and funny experiences. Jimmy shares his approach to guiding a blind person through a variety of terrains which include navigating caverns full of crystal formations, abseiling down rock faces and squeezing through rock tunnels that are only as wide as your body. Are you feeling claustrophobic yet? This is a great conversation and an interesting overview of a challenging sport for the underground adventurer. We also include some motivational quotations. You can subscribe, download and listen to The Blind Sport Podcast for free via iTunes or the website http://theblindsportpodcast.com. It is also on AGOGO, Tune in, Stitcher and IBlink Radio. Please share this podcast link with your social networks as the more that people get to listen, the greater the ability to create a community of blind sport supporters.
