- I'm having fun.

She's having fun.

Whoa! Turn, turn, turn there.

- Let's off road.

- Great.

You should have some water.

Trying to set this watch is impossible.

The buttons are too f***ing small.

- Leave it alone.

- Why do you wear it, anyway?

- My boyfriend gave it to me, it's sentimental.

- It's f***ing mental.

Any guy that gave that to me, I'd dump him.

Juno, are you sure this is the right way?

- Relax, I've never been lost in my life.

- Marvelous.

- So have you done these caves before?

- No.

But they are only level two.

Quite safe, don't worry.

- I wasn't.

- The only danger is that I might fall asleep.

Boreham Caves.

More like boredom caves.

- Nice parking.

- Thanks.

This one time in Galway.

When I free-climbed the cathedral,

a priest chased me

down the whole of the ground floor.

That was brilliant.

- I shouldn't have wasted the effort, though.

Holly, shut up.

Rebecca, leave her alone.

OK, guys, let's get moving. We're running late.

Come on, keep up.

Hey, Holly, wait up.

Move it, short arse.

Oi, Carter, get to the back.

Come on, you lazy bastard.

You finally caught up with me.

- Juno, are we there yet?

- There's a river about half a mile ahead.

When we reach it,

we follow it up to the mouth of the cave, OK?

How does she know there's a river up ahead?

I can't hear a thing.

She can probably smell it.

She came up here last week

to check the route out.

It's rule number one -

file a flight plan and stick to it.

- And rule number two?

- Don't go wandering off.

You think it's dark when you turn out the lights.

Well, down there it's pitch black.

- You can get dehydration, disorientation...

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- ... claustrophobia...

- Blah, blah.

...panic attacks, paranoia, hallucinations,

visual and aural deterioration...

Hey!

Eurgh.

Yeah, lovely, Holly. A real Kodak moment.

- Don't touch it.

- You wouldn't want to piss it off.

- What do you think did that, Sam? A bear?

What is this? Nature Detectives?

- It could have been Big Foot. Come on.

- Sam, stop poking it with a f***ing stick.

This is it.

- You're having a laugh!

- Afraid not.

I'm an English teacher,

not f***ing Tomb Raider.

You'll be fine.

OK, Sarah, Beth, you're up next.

Sam, stay with Becca.

Do what she does and you'll be fine.

Holly, safety first.

I don't want any stunts this time.

- You OK? See you down there.

- No.

Make sure your cow's tail is locked

there and there. You hold on to this like that.

Look, I have done this before, you know?

- I'm only looking after you.

- And I appreciate it, in small doses.

You gotta see this place.

It's beautiful!

You won't believe this, Beth.

- Oh, sh*t!
