How to Find Shortcuts in Caves

Hello my name is Laszlo and we are going in this matteous cave which is under the Buda hill and I will teach you about caving. If you imagine for example there is a big cave and there is a corridor like this and at the other end is a dead end so it goes nowhere and it is very close to another corridor which goes to the entrance so it is good to dig away the stones from the end of the corridor to get back to the first part of the cave because in this way you don't have to do everything on the way back which is not only boring if you are tired or thirsty or whatever or hungry. It is very strange because some cavers found a way which was like this and a long way from the entrance they found a very short corridor which goes back to the first part of the cave and they gave it a name, Time Gate because it is like you saved time if you go through it.
