Testimonials & Reviews
“Silhill U3A really enjoyed Keith’s presentation about Caves and Caving. Very clearly spoken with several awe inspiring videos. It was very informative about the various features that are hidden away underground. Details of rescues (and injuries) gave us all an insight to the dangers, but no-one felt an urge to follow Keith down into the caves!”

“Keith gave an excellent talk interspersed with videos of his exploits. He is all you want from a speaker – well organised, interesting, informative with a few laughs. Some of the places he has visited underground are breathtakingly beautiful, although he did tell us about some of the mishaps that have happened. This insight into a world most of us will never visit was fascinating”

“Very interesting presentation, delivered largely by videos that were the personal creations of the speaker. I can’t imagine a better way of showing the joys and difficulties of life as a caver. The audience was fascinated and were quick to commend Keith after his presentation.”

“What a wonderful afternoon we enjoyed entertained by Keith and his amazing videos on caving. His relaxed and humorous presentation led us from peeping down the mouth of a potential adventure to exploring cavernous caves adorned with stalagmite’s and stalactites offering a range of rainbow colours. We had the second hand experience of squeezing through the tightest of holes, swimming through deep rushing water and picking our way over fallen rocks. The professionalism, camaraderie and humour displayed by the cavers was exceptional, not to mention their degree of fitness to climb up ropes and ladders and take on long arduous walks. A talk not to be missed was the feedback from his most appreciative audience.”

“Last night we had a super talk by Keith. He gave us the best talk that we had had in a long time. When I say talk, his presentation had the lot. He had warmth, wit, pictures, videos with sound the lot.
His talks educated us in differing ways and the illustrations concerning how caves are formed and then develop were so informative.
I could not help but feel that if any members couldn’t make the evening for whatever reason then they missed a great evening. Thoroughly recommend.”

In October we had a brilliant 5 Star Session with Keith Edwards – ‘Underground Delights’. Keith had gallantly, if nervously, come to Sheila’s rescue, when a colleague could not meet the date. He expertly guided us through the labyrinthine world of caving, with all its mystery and danger. We began to understand that what drives people to clamber down swaying ladders, with only a head lamp for illumination; squeeze themselves through the smallest, narrowest spaces and to dive deep into underground lakes, was that this to them is FUN! We could see that it might be.
The camaraderie among cavers was much in evidence not only in the slides and video clips but also in Keith’s amusing commentary. If you’ve a mind to see these wonderful rock formations hidden below ground and this seems like your idea of fun, Dudley Caving Club are your people. This brilliant talk was Keith’s first! We’re sure it won’t be the last.
Praise from Sandwell U3A
Keith Edwards visited us in June (2016) and told us all about his life as a member of Dudley Caving Club and also about the history of the club when it was originally called Dudley Cave Rescue Team. Keith has won numerous awards for his film work and he showed us lots of photographs and short films of places they have explored and also told us about several rescue operations they have been involved in. Keith’s presentation was very interesting and humorous and enjoyed by all of our members. However, unfortunately he didn’t get any new recruits from our members – better luck next time!!!! Excellent.
