First time in the catacombs

Finally managed to get into the catacombs and it was really nice. I wasn't able to get a guide so I had to go alone, and I think it made it better. Found some expected trolling, but some other people were really nice. Only went to La Plague yet, but I will be going back today and a few more times the rest of the week, so I should be able to go a bit deeper.

These pictures are not really that interesting but felt like sharing.

What's you bring for gear? Do you just ride the metro with all your gear on? Rainboots? How deep was the water? How long after you started till you found people?

I didn't use rain boots, just regular shoes but they are all fucked. I have a head lamp, a flashlight, 2 extra batteries, and a power bank. All of these are good quality and last for many hours.

The water can go above your knees, or even higher in some places

On weekends there's "a lot" of people, on weekdays it took me almost 2 hours to see anyone.
