I set up my YouTube channel in September 2009 to showcase my caving videos. I never thought anyone but friends and family, and on second thoughts perhaps not family, would ever watch them. However in the first year the channel had an amazing 1464 views and in the second year it reached the dizzy heights of 3501 views. I was delighted.
The viewing figures have been steady rising and now almost 8 years later my caving videos have just clocked up an unbelievable 1/2 million views and I think that this is something worth celebrating. This would not have been possible without the support and encouragement, and sometimes verbal abuse from the great bunch of people I cave with in Dudley Caving Club. A huge thank you to them all but especially Brendan and the star of many of my videos, Mark.
