Anyone done it or know who you go through to do it properly?

Many thanks.

Always make sure your guide/instructor is fatter than you. :D

I used to go with my dad when I was younger and have been once or twice since on holiday.

Your best bet is to contact a local caving or potholing club and go through them.

I used to love potholing in my youth (when I was in the Scouts :B ), but haven`t been since and would love to try it again. My wife, however, thinks it`s a horrifying idea and would never consider it.
Do let us know if you find out more - or if you actually try it yourself.

I have this nagging fear that everyone is out to make me paranoid.

Only if he preceeds you into the hole.
Otherwise, stick thin with no muscles so you can shove him/her out of the way when the panic attack hits.
