<p>So&#8230; you may be aware that 2012 is shaping up to be the sportiest year of our lives so far.</p>
<p>If you fall into any of the following categories, chances are your summer is going to be affected by sport in some way:</p>
<p>1. You live in London.</p>
<p>2. You&#8217;ve got tickets to the Olympics.</p>
<p>3. You&#8217;re heading to Euro 2012.</p>
<p>4. You&#8217;re breathing.</p>
<p>If you are particularly interested in all this sportiness and think you have something blog-worthy to share with Qypers then we&#8217;d love to hear from you.</p>
<p>Basically, we want Olympic and Euro 2012 spies to be our guest bloggers this summer. We want people to tell us what life is like when you&#8217;re so close to the action that you can almost smell the sweat and feel the urge to shower.</p>
<p>Does this apply to you? Please email us a.s.a.p:<strong> QDL@QYPE.COM</strong></p>

<p>Here at Qype towers we like to get our hands dirty and when we discovered that the winner of Place of Interest of the Year at the <a href="http://community.blog.qype.com/2012/04/02/the-qype-business-awards-2012/" target="_blank">Qype Business Awards</a> was <a href="http://www.qype.co.uk/place/93294-Chislehurst-Caves-Chislehurst" target="_blank">Chislehurst Caves</a>, well we had to go and take a look first hand as well as deliver the award to Terry the cave manager (such an awesome job title).</p>
<div class="mceTemp">Being local to the area I’ve already headed down the labyrinth of manmade tunnels that sit up to 30 meters below the houses, roads and residents of <a href="http://www.qype.co.uk/uki22-chislehurst?from_search=" target="_blank">Chislehurst</a> and <a href="http://www.qype.co.uk/uki22-bromley?from_search=" target="_blank">Bromley</a>.</div>
<div class="mceTemp"><span style="color: #ffffff">x</span></div>
<div class="mceTemp">Our tour guide Jason (a fantastic guide) started off the tour by handing out paraffin lanterns as the caves are pitch black.</div>
<p><a href="http://community.blog.qype.com/files/2012/05/terry.jpg"><img class="alignright" src="http://community.blog.qype.com/files/2012/05/terry-300x225.jpg" alt="Cave manager Terry accepting his award" width="234" height="176" /></a></p>
<p>Throughout the tour he told us the history of the caves, hand carved by the Druids, Romans and Saxons and more recently used as a munitions storage for Woolwich Arsenal (slightly scary thought for those living above them), mushroom growing and an air-raid shelter for up to 15,000 people at the height of the blitz.</p>
<p>Not to mention the concerts; rock royalty including <strong>Jimi Hendrix, The Who, the Rolling Stones</strong>, and my Uncle Dan have all played in the caves….and <strong>then there are the</strong> <strong>ghosts</strong>&#8230;</p>
<p>…hundreds of stories scatter the caves, from <strong>human sacrifice</strong> to <strong>haunted pool</strong><strong>s</strong>, I’m getting shudders just thinking about them, and as you walk along, you can’t help casting your eye behind you…just in case.<br />
<a href="http://community.blog.qype.com/files/2012/05/lanterns1.jpg"><img class="alignleft" src="http://community.blog.qype.com/files/2012/05/lanterns1-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>The most chilling part of the tour was when Jason took away our paraffin lamps and left us in the pitch black, alone with the echoes, then suddenly, piercing through the tunnels comes…ah, I can’t give that away, you’ll have to find out for yourselves.</p>
<p>I love these caves, on every tour I&#8217;ve been on I leant something new. I know it might seem that they’re a trek into the deepest darkest corners of Kent, but the reality is that they’re 30 mins on the train from London Bridge and less than a 5 min walk from Chislehurst station.</p>
<p>A truly deserving winner of <a href="http://community.blog.qype.com/2012/04/02/the-qype-business-awards-2012/" target="_blank">Place of Interest of the Yea</a><a href="http://community.blog.qype.com/2012/04/02/the-qype-business-awards-2012/" target="_blank">r</a> and a fantastic experience!</p>
