Odprava v Laos 2016
International Cave Expedition LAOS 2016 je potekala v osrednjem Laosu provinci Khammouane, Thakhek in Lak Sao od, 19. januarja do 10. februarja 2016. Udeležilo se je sedem jamarjev iz štirih državi: Liviu Valenas (Nemčija), Dr. Petar Beron (Bolgarija), Alfred Walther (Nemčija ), Volker Dorausch (Nemčija), Gerhard Osswald (Nemčija) , Christian Lüthi (Švica) in Marjan Vilhar (Slovenija). beri dalje
Using GPS on a phone
Many of us have a cell phone with a GPS receiver. Unfortunately most phones just feature a GPS receiver and don't make good use of it. That was also the case with my firs phone featuring GPS that could only show coordinates of current position. That could help when calling for help lost in forest and that's pretty much it. Well I must admit that the phone has Google maps but it has poor functionality and it requires connection to internet which means additional costs and it becomes useless in remote areas without signal. Luckily situation isn't so murky. read more
10 let odkritja nadaljevanja Čehi 2
Najgloblja jama Kaninsko – Rombonskih podov, najgloblja v Sloveniji, in pred desetimi leti 12. na svetovni globinski lestvici je bila jama, imenovana ČEHI 2 z globino 1.380 m. Vhod so leta 1991 odkrili češki, pozneje pa so pobudo prevzeli italijanski jamarji, ki so do leta 1993 prodrli 1.370 m globoko in skoraj 4.000 m daleč v masiv Rombona. V svoji štirinajst dni trajajoči ekspediciji so ukrajinski jamarji odkrili nov splet rovov, ki jih je pripeljal na globino 1380m. Poleti 2001 je v Jamarskem klubu Borovnica dozorela ideja, da v tej jami organiziramo nove raziskave, ki naj nas pripeljejo čim bliže rekordni znamki. Eden od razlogov za odločitev, zakaj ravno Čehi 2, je bil ta, da do takrat v tej jami in na takšni globini slovenski jamarji še niso delovali. beri dalje
Bojanova cave
For a long time the Predjama Cave System has been the second largest cave system in Slovenia and the struggle for the second place isn't been decided yet. The system was carved by disappearing spring Lokev which runs all the way to Vipava. The connection with Vipava valley was allegedly confirmed in the 19th century for the first time using wood sawdust. After the Second World War it was confirmed using more modern methods.
Huge potential of Predjama system has so far attracted many generations of Slovenian cavers that have been exploring the system for over hundred years. We are proud to have played an important part in it's exploration. The system behind Predjama castle spanned over 13km of underground shafts. With new discoveries in 2009 it has grown to over 14km as in March 2009 members of DZRJ Luka Čeč have after several years of exploration finally connected Bojanova cave with Predjama Cave System. rad more
Lenčkova jama
Pisalo se je leto 2005, ko smo člani Društva za raziskovanje jam Luka Čeč po dolgih, bolj ali manj sušnih letih ponovno doživeli »svojih pet minut«, saj smo na dobro raziskanem področju okoli Predjame odkrili jamo, dolgo skoraj 1 km.
Ob dejstvu, da se vode iz Predjamskega podzemlja stekajo v Vipavsko dolino, in vedoč, da je Nanoško-Hrušiško zaledje jamarsko izjemno zanimivo, smo v društvu sklenili, da se v prihajajoči zimi posvetimo raziskovanju jam na tem območju. Ob natančnejšem pregledu topografskih kart in leg Predjamskega podzemnega sistema ter Vipavske doline smo sklepali, da bi morali podzemni rovi Predjame potekati tudi pod Črnjavsko dolino, zato smo širšo okolico omenjene doline izbrali za cilj bodočih raziskovalnih akcij.
Opremljeni z markirnimi spreji smo se januarja in februarja potikali po Črnjavski dolini in med snežno odejo označevali kopne, oziroma »predihane« skalne razpoke. beri dalje
